The efficient, enjoyable, and profitable orthopedic practice.
For the practicing orthopedist to achieve his personal practice goals of developing an efficient, enjoyable, profitable orthopedic practice, he must commit himself to restructuring his practice environment. This restructuring involves bringing in-house as many ancillary services as the practice can support, creating efficiencies in the clinic and surgical practice, and increasing the size of the group to attempt to exert some control of the payers in the marketplace. By doing so, the orthopedist will improve the quality of his practice, increase his income, and dramatically improve the quality of his life.
