How to Train Your Dragon: Patient Documentation in the 21st Century

2017-04-02T13:28:37-04:00By BHM Marketing|Medicare and Medicaid, Physician Compensation, Services|

What's one thing you never see Grey’s Anatomy? A doctor sitting down at 3 am to dictate on a patient. Or write a note in their chart. I don’t even remember seeing a doctor on that show even look at a patient’s chart, let alone glean any valuable information from it. No one becomes a doctor because they love to document.

ACA Acronyms | FFOF | Everything Has an Abbrev.

2017-04-02T13:28:38-04:00By BHM Marketing|Accountable Care Organizations, Health Care Reform, Health Insurance, Health Insurance Exchange, Physician Compensation, Services|

What do the ACA, ACO, FFS, DHS, and QHP all have in common? They are healthcare acronyms and most are related to the Affordable Care Act. The healthcare industry is not unlike any other industry or almost any aspect of our lives these days, especially with the advent of texting. There is always a shorter way to say something i.e. “BFF” – best friends forever or one of my favorites “*$” - Starbucks. By the way, the title “FFOF” is Fun Facts on Friday. The ACA, which is part of the “PPACA” - Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010, is regulated by “HHS” - the division of Health and Human Services, the “DOL” – Department of Labor and the “IRS” – Internal Revenue Service. HHS designates many responsibilities to “CMS” – the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.

What are the latest trends with concierge medicine? What are the pros and cons associated from both a patient and physician perspective? How does the ACA play into concierge medicine? How are healthcare trends affecting the future of healthcare? Is concierge medicine the answer? It is no secret that the physician shortage is growing in leaps and bounds, especially in terms of primary care. The creation of the Affordable Care Act has amplified the issue, adding more insured to the mix. The supply and demand ratio is completely unbalanced. As a result, both physicians and patients are looking for alternatives.

Telemedicine / Telehealth – Current Uses and Reimbursement

2017-04-02T13:28:38-04:00By BHM Marketing|Financial Analysis, Physician Compensation, Services, Telehealth and Telemedicine|

What’s better than knowing you can connect a provider with a patient even when that patient lives in the most rural of places? Telemedicine is an innovative and resourceful communication tool that integrates communications with modern day electronics allowing for the provider and patient to be in different locations during scheduled appointments. Products such as real time audio/video, email and smart phones are just some of the products being used in this delivery of services. The term telehealth which also encompasses telemedicine is a broader definition of remote healthcare that can include non clinical usage such as continuing education and training for providers to support healthcare services.
