Everything seems to be going against physicians these days. Reimbursements are declining, most expect healthcare reform to hurt doctors more than help them. Doctors lives are increasingly controlled by managed care “specialists”; even worse, the public perception of the integrity of physicians is declining. What should you do, roll over and cash it in. Not so fast….change can be your friend, your best opportunity to move in a new direction.
Think of this. The world is in chaos (I think we all agree on this one!), chaos creates need; need spurs the need for solution. That’s where doctors can come in. You are on the forefront of the healthcare system. The public is clamoring for solutions to the healthcare system. Studies show that patients are looking for a new set of services from their doctors, especially the baby boomers who are coming into the high utilization period of their life. They want convenience, better access, internet based healthcare and wellness. These expectations present all kinds of revenue generating opportunities for proactive doctors. Begin to listen to what your patients want and start looking around for what proactive doctors are providing to meet those needs.
