The Direct Contracting Ecosystem
Webinar: April 6. 2023
Direct contracting with employers is top of mind for most practices, and the number of third parties promising to assist continues to grow. Few of us understand what these third parties actually do, much less how to evaluate their effectiveness.
Join Karen Simonton, CPA, former orthopaedic practice executive and current OrthoForum Strategic Alliance Director, to break down the Direct Contracting Ecosystem. She will review the basics every practice pursuing direct contracts needs to know before outlining the categories of third party players and how to evaluate your needs for the services they offer.

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.
