Oakstone Publishing, a US-based 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. The publication, 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 practice administrators.
The newsletter is subscription-based and accepts no advertising. It seeks to help orthopaedic practitioners improve their performance, using a hard-hitting 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; and assessing new technologies for practice growth and efficiency, including orthopaedic billing software.
Edited by healthcare journalist Marie Powers, Orthopaedic Practice Management is managed by an editorial advisory board of leading orthopaedists, practice executives and orthopaedic consultants.
