title: Creating a more efficient physician practice: six steps toward turbo-charged practice revenues.
abstract: Health care providers face reimbursement and expense constraints. They will be helped in streamlining their operations by adopting financial benchmarks and following a six-step formulation to improve and assess their efficiency and effectiveness. These include: revenue and cost analysis; improved staffing and training procedures, attention to scheduling; developing functional patient intake procedures; selecting appropriate information systems; and evaluating the patient encounter by surveys and the examination of financial results.
