Physician practice management solutions.

Medicine today has changed in many aspects. Physician practices face enormous challenges in the form of higher costs, lower reimbursement, and managed care. Barriers in the form of physician discomfort with information technology and the costs associated with employing this technology make physicians reluctant to adopt information technology systems in their practices. Thus the problem is how to get doctors to adopt technology that can actually help them combat these challenges and problems and provide quality care to patients. This chapter discusses an appropriate and practical orientation from which to approach design and implementation of information technology for the office practice.

Animal bite management practices: a survey of health care providers in a community development block of Haryana.

It is seen that outcome of animal bites is influenced by various factors including the treatment procedures practiced by health care providers (HCPs). A cross sectional study of health care providers was conducted during May 2000 in PHC Kurali and Naraingarh town of community development block Naraingarh in district Ambala, Haryana. A total of forty-four HCPs were interviewed at their health facility. They were asked about the qualification and number of years in practice. Health care providers were assessed for their knowledge regarding history taking, immediate management of animal bite, post bite anti-rabies treatment, follow up advice and availability of vaccines. Pre-exposure prophylaxis was known to 18.8% of HCPs. Fifty-nine per cent of HCPs were confident in managing dog bites and 93.1% knew about tissue culture vaccine. Vaccine cost was the commonest barrier (38.8%) in the management of animal bites. This study shows a gross difference between awareness and actual practice of management of animal bites.

Selecting practice management information systems.

Despite enormous advances in information systems, the process by which most medical practices select them has remained virtually unchanged for decades: the request for proposal (RFP). Unfortunately, vendors have learned ways to minimize the value of RFP checklists to where purchasers now learn little about the system functionality. The authors describe a selection methodology that replaces the RFP with scored demos, reviews of vendor user manuals and mathematically structured reference checking. In a recent selection process at a major medical center, these techniques yielded greater user buy-in and favorable contract terms as well.
