Visiting Doctor's Offices Brings Insights

Just finished another tour of 5 offices on this most recent California trip. Practice situations ran the gamut, from the immediate purchase and sale, the new equity partnership formation, development of a life and practice plan for a last-"5-years-in- practice" doctor, to a major 5 partner practice day long retreat. Fascinating to help set in motion so many aspects of doctor CEO's practice and personal lives! It is the insights however that teach so much about the direction of the profession, current practice and achieving the constant improvement of both doctors and practices. One of the insights is that moving across the profession is a desire to have certainty in the direction of the practice and the smooth integration of new technology. Gone are the days of making a decision without careful plotting of the consequences and consulting with appropriate resource professionals. The result is that doctors overall practice environments are more in line with their state of growth than ever before.
