Pardon my brief absence. I start a piece every day and then get distracted by some shiny object and don't return. OK, maybe I'm being distracted by some really fun sites.
Igor and I have continued to follow up on the recession and its impact on our pediatric clients and have discovered some interesting results. We published a formal interview with the two of us here, the teaser follows:
n a day or so, I'm going to do an interesting followup on our examination of the impact of the economy on pediatric practices, so something related to tide you over
I am, again, in the back of the room at our Coding and Practice management event and listening to Dr. Tuck. I have to steal a line or two from him, he’s got some good ones. Dr. Lander is next.
Igor and I have been doing some behind-the-curtain work to examine the impact of the recession on our clients. So far, the news is generally positive for PCC customers, but there are some signs on the horizon - or on the front page of your newspaper ...

They turned our conversation into back-to-back episodes (32 and 33), "Independent Pediatric Practice 2022" and "Data Data Data and Managing a Pediatric Office." If you prefer video, you catch up on their YouTube channel.
