What Your CPA is Supposed to be Doing for You and Your Practice
Webinar: August 8, 2024
The AICPA has done a wonderful job letting you know that CPAs can prepare your tax return. However, in order for you and your practice to thrive, you really need to get more value from your professional than a form filled out on your behalf. Looking for the right CPA is a lot like looking for the right medical practitioner. Specialties, experience, bedside manner, and a whole host of other skills are necessary to fully support your unique needs. The wrong professional may literally cost you tens (if not hundreds) of thousands of dollars in taxes, penalties, and lost income.
This session’s purpose is to help you understand many of the critical services accounting professionals can (and should) provide to a successful physician and/or practice and arm you with questions to ask when interviewing potential advisors.

Harness the Power of Patient Reported Outcomes: Tell Your Practice's Story
Webinar: April 11, 2024
Lisa Pearson of Orthopaedic Associates of Michigan and Katie Bloyer of CODE Technology will present on leveraging Patient Reported Outcome data within your practice.
As payors, employers (and their brokers), and even the public are increasingly "shopping" for high quality providers, the "quality" metrics available to them are primarily derived from claims data. It is important for practices to collect and utilize their own data to understand their practice, proactively tell their story, and help drive the definition of quality toward meaningful clinical metrics.

Strategies to Assess & Mitigate Unstable Patient Behavior
Webinar date: January 5, 2023
People don’t seek care for a symptom. People seek care when a symptom becomes a concern. When the symptom is particularly unsettling, people may think magically: “the specialist is my only hope.” Guiding people to a collaborative, active, practical approach to health is no easy task. That is a relationship threatening moment. This places the emphasis in specialty care on healthy relationships. Specialists and care teams can enter encounters with the mindset “soothe, not solve.” There are several useful communication strategies that specialists can master one-by-one to decrease stress in their day and help them enjoy even the most cranky patient.

Marketing, Social Media, & The Physician Practice: Legal Implications
Webinar date: August 11, 2022
Presented by: Tatiana Melnik, Attorney
Remember when “marketing” was limited to newspaper or magazine ads, television commercials and billboards? All those options required significant lead time and multiple proofs before the ads were deployed.
Today’s technology allows us (and others!) to post or upload images, videos, messages, and slogans to multiple platforms with a click and limited safeguards to proof the content in advance. Often individual physicians maintain an online presence outside of the practice’s approved marketing plan. Providers and employees generate posts without practice approval or input to include responding to negative online reviews. Practices utilize text messaging as a communication and marketing tool without understanding the legal obligations of doing so. How can a physician’s practice protect itself while still leveraging today’s technology?
Join us as seasoned healthcare attorney Tatiana Melnik explores the unique legal implications for medical practices as they navigate modern marketing platforms. She will outline potential risks and offer practical guidance to mitigate them.
