NORWALK, Conn., Oct. 30, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- As running a medical practice gets increasingly more complex due to federal and state regulations, dwindling reimbursements, and a host of other issues, the need for best practices has become that much more important.
Each year, the Medical Group Management Association (MGMA) brings together some of the best thought leaders in practice management, including physicians and administrators, to achieve this goal. And each year, Physicians Practice is there to report that insight to medical practices nationwide. That was the case this year at MGMA14, the Medical Group Management Association's annual conference, recently held in Las Vegas.
Prior to the conference, Physicians Practice provided attendees with a slideshow of "must-see" sessions as well as multiple session previews, giving those at the conference in Las Vegas a sneak peak — as well as allowing non-attendees to receive the same valuable information. This year's pre-conference coverage included helpful insight on five common sources of HIPAA breaches, creating efficient patient satisfaction surveys, medical practice hiring tips, and meaningful use attestation by year's end.
Onsite in Las Vegas, Physicians Practice's team of journalists covered many of the topics on the minds of physicians and practice managers today, from improving the relationship between these two practice leaders to having the right staff in place to prepping your practice for the ICD-10 code set transition to avoiding a possible HIPAA violation, and much more. In total, Physicians Practice provided in-depth recaps and tips from more than two dozen of the presentations at MGMA14.
All of the content from before, during, and even after MGMA14 can be found at Physicians Practice's MGMA14 Conference Insider webpage, and was delivered to more than 83,000 subscribers via daily e-newsletters.
Earlier this year, Physicians Practice received a gold award for overall excellence for its trade show/conference coverage of MGMA's 2013 Annual conference from the American Society of Business Publication Editors (ASBPE). Previously, Physicians Practice was awarded a national gold award for its coverage of the event in 2012 and a national silver award for its 2011 coverage.
"When the nation's foremost experts in practice management come together to share best practices and insights, that's information all medical practices should have," said Keith L. Martin, group editorial director for Physicians Practice. "Not every practice can send a representative to the MGMA Annual Conference, so we want to provide those who can't attend with the same valuable information as those who can."
