Consolidations and mergers have dramatically changed the face of the physician practice. From governance issues to information technology, today's practice managers face a host of new complexities and competing priorities that demand more robust skills and knowledge. Fundamentals of Medical Practice Management is one of the few, if not only, texts that addresses the educational needs of the modern practice manager. Author Stephen L. Wagner, who studied under quality guru W. Edwards Deming, combines a focus on quality and excellence with an important thesis: working together and putting people first is the best way to be successful in healthcare. This book appeals to a wide range of learners, including in organizational programs, MHA and undergraduate health administration programs, and practice management certificate programs. It is also an effective supplement for healthcare management classes. Not only will the book's insights prepare those new to the field, but it will help current practice managers to retool and refocus. Fundamentals of Medical Practice Management covers these areas and more: Information Technology and Management Regulatory Issues, the Law, and Practice Management Third-Party Payers, the Revenue Cycle, and the Medical Practice Leading, Managing, Governance, and Organizational Dynamics Quality Management in the Physician Practice. Although this text delves into many practical topics, its main focus is people. The author argues that win-lose games and quick-fix solutions have begun to deliver diminished returns in healthcare not only economically, but emotionally and societally. He aims to shape the reader's mindset for a new era of people-focused practice management.
