Most private practice doctors are just copying the traditional healthcare model—but why? The mainstream system is broken, inefficient, and frustrating for both doctors and patients. If you're launching your cash-based or virtual medical practice, you don't have to do things the old way. In this episode, I challenge you to rethink every part of your practice, including: How patients actually find you (hint: it's not through your website) Scheduling & payments (you don't need a front desk or an EHR) Intake forms (do patients really want them?) Lab & imaging results (how to present them in a way patients actually understand) The future of medical records (voice notes, AI, and custom software) The best practices in medicine aren't just the ones we've always used—they're the ones that actually work.

A physician recently shared a post about how medicine is a minefield—you can do everything right and still get sued, blamed, or burned out. The system makes it easier to destroy doctors than to support them, and many are leaving for good. But instead of waiting for change, what if you made a shift? Some medical settings are more supportive than others Switching specialties or clinical settings can make a huge difference There are many non-clinical career options Cash-based care (concierge, DPC, or fee-for-service) provides more freedom I also share my personal experience: How I handled a medical board investigation My perspective on lawsuits and the reality of getting sued Why cash-based medicine is a viable way to stay in medicine on your terms Listen in for real talk on the challenges of being a doctor today—and how to find a better path.

I just signed the lease on my 500 sq ft clinic space in Long Beach, and I'm thinking a lot about what kind of practice I want to build. Instead of locking myself into a rigid model, I'm keeping things flexible—giving myself the option to shift between a cash-based walk-in clinic, urgent care, or even direct primary care. Why flexibility matters when starting a medical practice: You can adjust based on patient demand You're not stuck with a model that doesn't work for you You can scale up or down depending on how much patient care you want to provide I chose a retail space because I want to be visible and accessible. But if I don't get enough traction, I'll consider moving into a medical office building. Even in a small space, you can do a lot—bring in an NP or PA, offer virtual visits, host group coaching, and adapt your practice over time. Listen in as I share how I'm thinking about this new clinic and why you don't need to have everything figured out before you start.

Making Changes in Your Practice: How to Make Sure Your Independent Practice Meets Your NeedsHello and welcome to the Business of Psychology podcast. Today for our final episode of the current series we're going to be talking about how to adapt your practice when your needs as a business owner change, or you realise that your practice isn't meeting your needs anymore.Full show notes of this episode are available at The Business of PsychologyPsychology Business School: Start & Grow and CoachingIs this the year that you take your private practice seriously? Maybe you are just starting out or perhaps you want to grow your practice with a team or passive income. Whatever stage you are at, I would love to support you. For new practices, I have our group coaching programme, Start and Grow where you will find all the support, resources and knowledge you need to create an impactful and rewarding practice. https://psychologybusinessschool.com/psychology-business-school/For more established practices come and take a look at my coaching for growth packages. I have a couple of spots left for individual coaching so let me help you get 2024 off to the best start possible.https://psychologybusinessschool.com/1-to-1-coaching-for-mental-health-professionals/Links & References:'But What Can I Do? Why Politics Has Gone So Wrong, and How You Can Help Fix It' by Alastair CampbellRosie on Instagram:@rosiegilderthorp@thepregnancypsychologistGetting What You Need From Your PracticeOne of the joys of private practice is being able to adapt your work to suit your life and the challenges that you might be facing. Many of us go into private practice because we really need that flexibility, maybe because of caring responsibilities or something else. Certainly for me, that has always been the driving force behind my practice.And recently, I've had to become more flexible than I ever thought was possible in my work. I've thought really long and hard about what I want to share about that, and why I want to share anything about it at all, and I've debated this back and forth a lot in my mind. But I've decided that I do want to share some of that particular struggle with you, because, frankly, I know a lot of us go through similar struggles, and it can feel so isolating.I know that I found myself looking at other people's content on social media and just feeling really sad and a bit lonely because I can't help but assume that their lives are so different to mine. I get that comparisonitis, and I want to make sure that I'm not contributing to that problem, because I'm sure if you look at my social media, or you read my emails, or you look at my website, it might seem like everything's rosy in my life, and like my business is always flourishing. And I don't think that's helpful, and I don't think it's healthy, and it's not a culture that I particularly want to contribute to.So I'm hoping that by honestly sharing with you some of the struggles that I've been going through in my personal life, and how that's impacted on the business, that I can give you a bit of hope if you're going through a

In this episode of The Actor's Career Compass, host Martin Bentsen offers practical, cost-effective tips for actors seeking to enhance their skills independently. He emphasizes the importance of practicing with friends, recording and critically analyzing one's own performances, and understanding the nuances of natural acting.Bentsen encourages actors to engage in a variety of exercises, from running scenes with friends to recording monologues and dialogue scenes. He also highlights the value of cold reads and self-analysis, asking "Why" in every aspect of the performance to ensure authenticity. Importantly, Bentsen advises against making choices solely to stand out, advocating for simplicity and truthfulness in acting. To further improve, he suggests studying film scenes and questioning the motivations behind each line and action.This episode is a treasure trove of advice for actors looking to refine their craft on their own.

There's been a lot of talk lately about private equity, venture capital and what the future looks like for independent practice. On this episode, I talk to Kate Othus, CEO of Health Professionals Alliance (HPA). Unlike most organizations, which seek to own or control practices, HPA is on a mission to preserve independence in healthcare. Doctors in private practice join HPA as a member, which brings buying power, industry leverage, organization, and greater efficiencies, without selling or giving up autonomy in how you treat patients or run your business. You can read more about HPA on their website https://hpamembers.com/

One positive that's emerged from the pandemic is the reality that nurses are extremely good at their job and can thrive in an independent setting. The hope is that this will help APRNs and CRNAs move closer to a career where they can practice to the full extent of their training and education without statutory barriers. Today we've invited Ronald Castaldo, PhD, MBA, MS, CRNA, APRN, onto the show to discuss the pro-APRN wins in recent years and to help all CNRAs understand the importance of the state boards of nursing.

As teachers we spend a lot of time teaching new skills, but students often don't have enough time to rehearse these skills in real contexts. Practice should make up the majority of a lesson. So, what does high impact practice look like? Firstly we use the MINI LESSON to have our students practise WITH us as we continue our demonstration. The active art of student practice begins right here, with the teacher, trying it out for themselves along with their peers, checking on how it's working for them and being aware of what they are doing. This MINI LESSON is what sets the learner up to know what to practise, what it will feel like to be doing it for themselves as they pursue individual learning.The MINI LESSON should allow an entry point to take the next step, because the teacher has explained and demonstrated what they have noticed in conferring or roving sessions during INDEPENDENT PRACTICE time.So during INDEPENDENT PRACTICE, students have the majority of the lesson time to rehearse a specific strategy or skill, whilst teachers have their ears and eyes on how they are managing what has been explained and demonstrated in the MINI LESSON. They give pointed, differentiated feedback to each student and set goals together.In this episode, Sharon and Phil cover this and much more, including:How to implement INDEPENDENT PRACTICE consistently in classroomsThe importance of gathering feedback and how to do itHow to balance out and maximise INDEPENDENT PRACTICE timeHow it applies to Reading, Writing and Word WorkThe way the Share/Reflection time fits inHow to keep the same thread of learning throughout all workshop components of the lessonHow rich texts are central to teaching, as well as being used effectively used for student practiceThe pitfalls to be aware ofMuch more!Enjoy the episode, and let us know thoughts and feedback in our Facebook Group. Subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your favourite podcast player. JOIN SHARON CALLEN'S NEXT WEBINAR!'Reading Like a Writer: Teaching Information Writing' - Yrs 2-6, with Sharon Callen14 August 2021, 10-11.30am Adelaide time (One 1.5 hour workshop)Find our more and register here.Missed it?

When should I leave the NHS: Reflections for psychologists and therapists thinking about taking the plunge into independent practiceToday I am not writing about strategy, it's not about a process, it's not about tips. That's because I really can't give you any when it comes to this question. Today we're talking about something really personal, we're talking about the decision that many of us grapple with, here in the UK, about when to leave the NHS. For our international readers, the NHS is the institution that provides free health care at the point of need, something that most of us are really committed to and very fully believe in, in the mental health space. However, the NHS is not an easy employer. There have been a lot of difficulties over the past decade, and probably before that, in providing the kind of mental health services that we want people to recieve. So this blog will be relevant for anybody considering leaving employment, considering reducing their hours, or who just feels a bit paralysed by that question.  I'm not going to give you a tick sheet, or a process that you can follow to help you make that choice. Of course I can't do that. But what I am going to do is share some of my personal experiences. I'll share the reasoning behind my decision to leave the NHS. And then I'm also going to share with you the wisdom of 47 other psychologists who answered this question for me, in one of our private practice groups, which is called UK Psychologists in Private Practice (UK3P), if you're not in it, you should be in it. It's a brilliant group.  I asked in there how people knew it was the right time to leave the NHS because I know this is something that so many of us struggle with. So many people that are considering jumping into https://psychologybusinessschool.com/ (Psychology Business School), or joining the https://psychologybusinessschool.com/the-do-more-than-therapy-membership/ (Do More Than Therapy Membership) talk to me about this dilemma. So I thought I'd really like to create a podcast, which doesn't give you the answers, but lets you in on the reasoning of people who have made that decision so that it can maybe help you to feel a little bit more supported, a little bit less alone with that big decision that you're grappling with.    Why did I start thinking about my decision to leave the NHS and start an independent practice 4 years ago?But before we get started, I also want to share with you some more personal stuff from me, that actually prompted me to start thinking about this. So those of you who have eagle eyes, or who are involved in https://psychologybusinessschool.com/ (Psychology Business School,) or the https://psychologybusinessschool.com/the-do-more-than-therapy-membership/ (Do More Than Therapy Membership), might have noticed that my camera has been moving slowly further up, so you can see less and less of my body recently in social media videos, or in zoom trainings that I do in https://psychologybusinessschool.com/ (Psychology Business School). And the reason for that is that I am expecting my third child. I'm very pleased to announce that I'm currently 22 weeks and feeling OK. And as it's my third child, I do have quite a sizable baby bump. I never find pregnancy very easy. And that's a whole topic for another podcast that I certainly will be making, and might even be writing a book on, but I have not felt well and there's been real challenges, but I'm now feeling pretty good and I want to use this time to help other people that might be in a position of going through a big life transition and wondering what on earth that means for their career.    The story of why I left the NHS to start an independent psychology practice My story is all about my family, and it's all about my children. My daughter had just started at nursery, I'd gone back into a locum role in an NHS team. We're a military family, so I already knew that I couldn't go back into a role...

When working with teachers and leaders, we are always working towards the best outcomes for all of our literacy learners and looking to enable highly effective outcomes. This drives us to these considerations:What are the high impact strategies that many of us are working with?And how can these be managed to enable high impact for every child, every day?In this episode, we'll look at this in relation to the English block in literacy learning. To honour you our listeners as authentic teachers and leaders who are pondering, confirming and considering what your readers and writers need to grow in your classroom, I have created a ‘best effort' document showing how you actually cover all high impact strategies every day with ease within a workshop model (Mini Lesson, Independent Practice, Share/Reflection). You might like to stop the episode and download the draft document so you can look at it as we proceed.What are the High Impact Teaching Strategies?The H.I.T.S. are 10 instructional practices that reliably increase student learning wherever they are applied. They emerge from the findings of tens of thousands of studies of what has worked in classrooms across Australia and the world. International experts such as John Hattie and Robert Marzano have synthesised these studies and ranked hundreds of teaching strategies by the contribution they make to student learning, including:Setting goalsStructuring lessonsExplicit teachingWorked examplesCollaborative learningMultiple exposuresQuestioningFeedbackMetacognitive strategiesDifferentiated teachingH.I.T.S. requires you to draw on both your deep curriculum knowledge and your skills in assessment for, as and of learning. Applying the H.I.T.S. effectively relies on tapping into your expertise to develop and implement rich, authentic learning tasks. Importantly, adept application of the H.I.T.S. will stimulate your students to take agency for, and reflect on, their own learning.In this episode, find out how a workshop model (Mini Lesson, Independent Practice, Share/Reflection) provides the perfect framework for the H.I.T.S.to occur in your classroom with ease every day.Enjoy! Resources mentioned in this episode:TEACHIFIC High Impact Teaching Strategies and the Workshop ModelBOOKTOPIAThe Book of Brilliant Bugs by Jess FrenchThe Rabbit Problem by EmilyDEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION & TRAINING VICTORIA10 High Impact Teaching StrategiesConnect with us!Join our community on Facebook for exclusive resources, Q and A, discussions, insights and more: https://www.facebook.com/groups/teacherstoolkitforliteracyGot any questions?

Enjoy! 1:50 - Harvard Arthroplasty Fellowship (4/5+ days in OR, fellow-specific teaching & networking, mentorship/career guidance) 3:10 - Why Harvard (complex primaries/revisions, double constructs) 3:35 - Why Arthroplasty (similar to choosing a specialty, based on personality types, QALY/QoL outcomes) 5:10 - Why an Arthroplasty Fellowship (more revisions, seeing complex cases gives you tools, develop skills) 7:10 - Where do you envision yourself (MEd = academic, Cross-trained in arthroplasty/trauma = highly employable, options open) 8:05 - Surgical Education (Oslerian model falls apart, Feedback based approaches on movements, Giving feedback through CBME, Exams are less helpful than competencies) 10:20 - Benchmarks for Competency (Are you prepared for Independent Practice?

Creating more impact in your independent practice: How do I test if my “more than therapy” idea will work?This was a great question that came from one of our Do More Than Therapy members, https://drpaularedmond.com/ (Dr Paula Redmond.) Paula has a practice helping health professionals deal with stress and burnout and she is part of our programme for people who have a thriving practice already but who want to find more creative and impactful ways to serve people. She identified what is a big problem for many psychologists and therapists in private/independent practice, we just don't know whether our idea for an online course, book, workshop series, app or whatever it is will work! Think like an entrepreneur in your independent/private practiceA few years ago I came across two books that really shaped my thinking on this subject and if you love all things entrepreneurship I would highly recommend them. They make me feel excited just thinking about them! Pat Flynn's “Will it Fly” and Eric Ries “The Lean Start-Up” come from totally different perspectives and both are very far removed from the way we usually think about psychology and therapy independent practice. But that is why they are so useful to us. We need to change gear slightly when we are coming up with an innovative idea because unlike therapy, which is tried and tested and known to the public, we are talking about creating something the public has never seen before. It is a much bigger risk so needs a different mindset and approach. If you have time I would certainly recommend that you read the books. But, in case the stack of books on your nightstand is overpowering, I thought I would share with you the process that I developed as a result of my interpretation of them and that I used to develop the Psychology Business School online course.  12 steps to test your idea for making more impact in your independent/private practice I've included a summary of the 12 steps I talk through here in the show notes so you can either grab a pen and paper to make sure you don't miss any steps out or head over to the show notes (you can find them in your podcast app or on the psychologybusinessschool.com site) where they are mapped out for you.

If you have a budget you may use low cost engagement Facebook ads to get more visibility at this stage. https://psychologybusinessschool.com/the-business-of-psychology/3-ways-to-use-facebook-for-psychologists-and-therapists (Listen to this podcast )for more ideas on how to use Facebook to start growing your audience for your new product/service.  Create something small (and ideally free or low cost) that helps to solve the problem. Do people download or use it? Make sure those people that do are added to your email list. Get feedback from the users, what was most useful/least useful? Create something bigger that you can charge for. Do people pay for it? If they are interested in the idea but they won't pay for it you need to try and find out why. Some markets are not “buying markets.” This may mean that people do not place a monetary value on solving the problem, sadly this is often true around topics relating to mental health. Or you may be trying to reach a market with no disposable income. If all other indicators are...

Decisions you make today will affect you and your practice for years.

Description #62 - This episode is part of our series on nurses who took the leap to leave their traditional nursing position and go full-time on their entrepreneurial journey during the COVID-19 pandemic. Today, we're talking with Kathy Kates. Kathy is a family nurse practitioner and pelvic floor therapist. Kathy's firsthand knowledge about pelvic health comes from her experience as a mom and a former cancer patient. Her work is enhanced by over 10 years as a nurse practitioner, running a women's health program at a federally qualified health center. Listen in as Kathy tells us her story of going from burned-out nurse practitioner to co-founder of The Institute for Pelvic Health. One of the biggest decisions you have to make in your journey from side hustle to full-time entrepreneur is when to make the leap. In “normal” times this is a hard decision, but the uncertainty of the pandemic has brought a new set of challenges. And yet a large number of nurses have decided to do just that; leave the “security” of their traditional nursing job and go full time with their business. And the results have been tremendously positive. I want to share their inspiring stories with you. Show Notes If you're interested in starting your entrepreneurial journey, I'd like to invite you to one of our free webinars. During this webinar training Janine Kelbach and I teach you what a lifestyle business is, and the framework we discovered to starting and growing a successful lifestyle business. To get more information on how you can join our next live training go to unconventionalprofessionals.com. More about Kathy Kathy is a family nurse practitioner and pelvic floor therapist. Kathy's firsthand knowledge about pelvic health comes from her experience as a mom and a former cancer patient. Her work is enhanced by over 10 years as a nurse practitioner, running a women's health program at a federally qualified health center. Kathy works with Melissa Hines, a pelvic floor physical therapist. They utilize an interdisciplinary holistic approach to pelvic health in both the clinic and mentorship.

BUT it can be overwhelming to figure out exactly what you need to prioritise before those clients start coming in.   I've created a free checklist (plus resources list) to take the thinking out of it.

Sometimes teachers feel like they struggle to get bang for buck from bigger and longer lessons. But when it comes to literacy, Mini Lessons can be used strategically and effectively.So, what is an effective Mini Lesson?Mini Lessons are the time when we bring the whole class together, and then we reveal what we have noticed about our students as readers and writers. And when we fully understand our students, we launch into the ‘just right’ next actions/processes/strategies for them, letting them in on the secret of what good readers and writers do as we demonstrate the process/action/strategy for our students to take immediately into their reading and writing.1. The Mini Lesson:a.  What to Teach - Good reader/writer goal shared with studentsb. To & With - Modelling strategies/skills/processes/actions using Texts (Read Aloud and/or Shared Enlarged Text) and Think Aloud2. Independent Practice by students with teacher Conferring/Supporting/Questioning/Leading.3. Sharing - Thinker's Talking and Transforming LearningThe Mini Lesson needs to preface the reading or writing time, so that students can immediately practise what we have just explored in the Mini Lesson - less time teaching, more time reading. That’s the way to get impact. Mini Lessons make total sense because they are an everyday tool - leading into the every day, independent practice (reading/writing) that students need. They need both - a third of the time is a good guide for the Mini Lesson, with two thirds on actual reading/writing.Why are Mini Lessons important?The Mini Lesson promotes a good reader and writer action - seeing it done, doing it together, being aware of the habits and behaviours of good readers and writers. The Mini Lesson without a doubt invites every child, every day to be an active and engaged member of the literacy club.Tune in for more!To find out about upcoming webinars, and about how Cue can help you and your school, visit the Cue Learning website http://www.cuelearning.com.au/.And you can get even more amazing teaching resources, right now, at Teachific https://www.teachific.com.au/.To make sure you don’t miss any literacy learning tips and insights, please subscribe to our show on your favourite podcast player.Produced by Apiro Media  https://apiropodcasts.com

In the initial surge of Covid-19, many were expecting a buyer’s market for physician groups. Now that most independent groups have managed through the initial surge, these practices are looking for new partnership opportunities beyond acquisition. The desire for partnership is true on both sides–physician aggregators like private equity firms, health plans, health systems and other medical groups all have their eyes set on independent physicians and are re-evaluating what they can offer. Host Rachel (Rae) Woods sits down with physician practice experts Sarah Hostetter and Julie Riley to talk about the current state of physician consolidation, the types of health care players forming partnerships, and how partnerships can build up and support independent practice.

Because many people mistakenly believe their money is safer with big banks than with independent financial planners, it’s important to show clients the benefits of a more personal touch. Today’s guests had a vision for differentiating themselves from bank-owned financial advisory firms. They saw a conflict of interest in a profit-obsessed industry and set about creating a practice that would remove that conflict and center the client experience. Chris Rawles and Spencer Tilley are co-founders of RT Mosaic. Chris is a CFP, RFP and CIM and has 15 years of experience in the industry. In 2018, he was named a finalist for the "Multi-Service Advisor of the Year" award through Wealth Professional. Spencer, a CFP, RFP and CFA, has extensive experience in the areas of retirement analysis, tax minimization and corporate planning. Together, Chris and Spencer strive to provide their clients with an unbiased wealth management experience. Listen to the episode to hear how they show clients the benefits that independent portfolio management and financial planning firms have over the big banks.

Welcome to the ASCO Daily News podcast. I'm Lauren Davis, and joining me today is Harvey Bichkoff, CEO of Marin Cancer Care in California. Mr. Bichkoff has been an administrator at both public and private hospitals for many years before joining this integrated center that provides cancer care with compassion. In this podcast we will discuss the challenges for oncology practices to remain independent in the era of consolidation. Mr. Bichkoff, welcome to the podcast. Thanks very much, Lauren. It's an honor to be here and talk about this important topic. The 2016 Community Oncology Practice Impact Report shows that since 2008 nearly 1,600 community practices and/or clinics nationally have been affected by closings, hospital acquisitions, and corporate mergers. This is a rate of 15.1 community practices affected per month. What are some of the reasons for this increase? It's been a real challenge for independent practices to maintain their operations over the last few years. There is tremendous pressure from hospitals that are trying to acquire oncology practices. They're doing this to subsidize other acquisitions that they've made and losses from their operations. Some hospitals give significant drug discounts from something called 340B pricing, they often have better commercial contracts, and sometimes have medical foundations that are made up of most of the referring specialists and primary care doctors. Also, some oncology groups have seen declines in their reimbursement, maybe due to changes in peer mix, or more Medicare patients, as well as increases in their overhead costs. These factors may lead to selling to a hospital, and lock in or maybe increase the physician's income for a few years. There are risks to giving up autonomy to the hospitals. Physicians may not be able to spend as much time with their patients, they lose control over staffing decisions, and their income guarantees are often short-term, and have to be renegotiated after they've lost leverage. They may also lose some key employees. The new hospital employer may reduce employee salaries and benefits which could result in turnover. Finally, new acquired oncology practices may feel lost in a larger system where the emphasis may be on growth of market share and profits rather than patient, employee, and doctor satisfaction. Consolidation seems to be a trend in cancer care, but what are some of the benefits for private practices to remain independent? The primary advantages of remaining independent is that doctors have more control over their time spent with patients, employee hiring and firing decisions, and control over their budget. Some commercial peers are starting to realize that it is beneficial to pay independent doctors more so that they can remain independent, versus paying the hospitals who charge a great deal more for the same services. I've also heard from colleagues around the country that it can be extremely difficult to renegotiate their salaries after the initial term. If the hospital is not doing as well financially it could impact the group. They can also experience reductions in benefits and retirement contributions. Once the practice is sold it is competing with other hospital departments for their budget. Other significant advantages are the ability to make quick policy and process decisions. Hospitals are much more bureaucratic and often have several layers of management, which can stall decision-making. Despite the increasing wave of acquisitions by larger practices or by hospitals, many established private practices wish to remain so. What are some of the challenges to do that? As you said, the consolidation of medical groups, as driven by hospitals, health care systems and academic centers, has made it very tough on independent practices. Also the aging of the population and increases in Medicare patients where we are lucky to break even is much more difficult. Our market is also somewhat unique. We have a good peer mix, but extremely high housing costs. This makes it difficult to recruit locally, as unemployment is very low and people can't afford to live here. There are also projected shortages of oncologists and oncology nurses. Lately we've had a hard time finding experienced oncology nurses, and we've had to train our new nurses with less experience. Another significant challenge, which is particularly worse in cancer, is burnout. We've worked with an expert in the field who's talked with both our staff and doctors about techniques to increase resiliency. Are there specific ways to be cost effective and keep practice costs down? Our biggest costs are drugs, staff, and rent. We monitor costs and cash flow carefully. The doctors and the management team regularly meet, and everyone is engaged. We also watch our drug costs carefully, and have our distributors match prices when better pricing is available on the market. We also buy extra drugs when cash pemits before the manufacturer increases prices. Finally, we bid out our drug and supply costs every couple of years to make sure the pricing is competitive. As far as rent goes, we locked in a long-term lease so we know our future costs. And in some instances, you are able to also negotiate tenant improvement allowances on rental deals. As it relates to staffing, we are members of ASCO's PracticeNET. We benchmark our practice against other oncology groups. We found that we are efficient but higher cost. We invest in our employees, and have lower turnover, and outstanding patient satisfaction results. We are in a high-cost area, but believe we should pay a premium because working in cancer is tougher than other specialties. We also cross-train our staff to cover sick days and vacations. We're very fortunate to have great and committed a team of employees. Marin Cancer Care offers integrative medicine, everything from acupuncture to music therapy. What's your secret, especially considering that integrative medicine is both desirable and in demand. How can practices offer these options while still doing more with less? That's a good question, Lauren, and it's been a challenge for us. We started a integrated program in our practice over 20 years ago, as one of our physicians had a passion for these services based on his own personal experience. He's since retired, and one of our new physicians, who also has a commitment to the program, has allowed it to continue to grow and prosper. I think the most important element is having a physician that is committed to these programs. Over the past several years we've had a co-management agreement with our hospital. They pay us for administrative time, and to run the integrative and cancer program overall. The hospital has been extremely committed to the integrative medicine program. They've hired several navigators in the areas of breast, prostate, GI, and survivorship. They've supported the lung cancer screening program. And recently hired palliative care physicians and mid-level providers. It will be very difficult for us to do this on our own, and have a robust integrated program without the hospital support. Absolutely. What are some key steps for private practices to innovate and survive? I think the primary way to innovate and survive is to always put the patients and their families first. We hire staff who are genuinely interested in customer service, and clinicians who are focused on patient-centered care. We have an excellent reputation for quality and good relations with the local academic medical centers. We were the first practice to join ASCO's CancerLinQ, and are accredited by a national organization, the AAAHC. We're always involved in multiple quality initiatives on how to improve patient care. Our practice has also invested in an experienced management team. It seems like most successful practices have made that investment. We talked a little bit about the cost side minutes ago. It may be even more important to talk about the revenue side. We are paid fairly well by our commercial carriers, and we look at them as partners. We know many of the medical directors who vouch for our quality after analyzing our cost data, and they're willing to pay us more based on our evidence-based practice of medicine. This is extremely important as costs rise and the markets get more competitive. Finally, it's not easy to turn back once you've sold. It is costly to create a work force, and difficult to renegotiate commercial contracts. Some doctors are biting the bullet and starting over due to their dissatisfaction with their hospital partners. Thank you so much. Again, my guest today has been Mr. Harvey Bichkoff. Thank you for joining us. Thanks for the opportunity, Lauren. I hope it's helpful to other independent practices.  Thank you.
