OAKSTONE PUBLISHING LAUNCHES ORTHOPAEDIC PRACTICE MANAGEMENT NEWSLETTER
Oakstone Publishing’s Orthopaedic Practice Management is the first publication focused on the unique management challenges and opportunities faced by orthopaedic surgeons and orthopaedic practice administrators.
BIRMINGHAM, June 3, 2008 -- Oakstone Publishing, a leading provider of audio and print information products and continuing medical education for physicians, has launched a monthly newsletter to address the practice management challenges of orthopaedic surgery practices.
Orthopaedic Practice Management provides specialty-specific guidance, expert advice, how-to strategies, and real-world case studies focused on management issues faced by orthopaedic surgeons and orthopaedic practice administrators.
Orthopaedic Practice Management is designed to fill a void in orthopaedic practice management information and advice available for orthopaedists and orthopaedic practice administrators who have had to rely on generic guidance,” said Oakstone Medical publisher Dean Celia. "Oakstone has been providing high quality specialty specific clinical information for more than 30 years.”
Orthopaedic Practice Management is subscription-based and accepts no advertising. The newsletter is devoted to helping orthopaedic practices improve their performance, using a hardhitting journalistic style that delivers detailed, how-to recommendations on key issues, drawing on the advice of experts and orthopaedic consultants. Critical topic areas include:
* Expansion through the addition of ancillary services and facilities
* Achieving growth through practice marketing and referral-building
* Building volume with profitable insurance, government, and employer contracts
* Avoiding liability and complying with complex regulations
* Boosting revenue through improved orthopaedic coding, orthopaedic medical billing,
and collections procedures
* Slashing operating costs and increasing productivity
* Assessing new technologies for practice growth and efficiency, including orthopaedic billing software
Edited by award-winning veteran health care journalist, Marie Powers, Orthopaedic Practice Management boasts a distinguished editorial advisory board of leading orthopaedists, practice executives, and orthopaedic consultants, including James H. Herndon, MD, MBA, past president of the American Association of Orthopaedic Surgeons and professor of orthopaedic surgery at Harvard Medical School; William R. Pupkis, CMPE, CEO of Capital Region Orthopaedics, Albany, NY, and president-elect of the Medical Group Management Association's Orthopaedic Practice Assembly.
"We are confident in this new publication's ability to make a positive impact on the management of orthopaedic practices, and in its ability to offer real-world strategies and tactics focused on practices' unique needs,” Celia said.
