The American Medical Association (AMA) and the Medical Group Management Association (MGMA) have developed a new online toolkit to assist physicians in selecting the most appropriate software to run their practices. Free to members of the AMA and the MGMA, the 'Selecting a Practice Management System' toolkit is accessible on the AMA and MGMA websites.
The toolkit seeks to provide a roadmap to make it easier for physicians to select and purchase the most appropriate practice management system (PMS) software. Physician practices can use this information to establish their organisational needs and take advantage of recent improvements in automation.
The new toolkit will provide physician practices with a five-step guide to PMS software selection; a comprehensive checklist of PMS software features and functionalities that physician practices can use to determine what their practice needs; and a sample 'request for proposal' that physician practices can employ in their communications with PMS software vendors. In a later phase of the project, an online directory of PMS software vendors that includes self-reported PMS software features and functionalities will be added to the toolkit.
