The 'fixed cost effect' on practice management.

To obtain a better understanding of the behavior of "non-professional" costs in a medical practice, the authors analyzed the expenses of a 19-doctor practice. The analysis revealed that 80 percent of these expenses were fixed costs. Fixed costs, as opposed to variable costs, remain static in total but vary on a per unit basis as volume changes. Organizations with high fixed cost must maximize capacity to achieve profitability. Thus, the relationship among volume, capacity, cost and profit must be understood by medical practices negotiating rates for service units.

Teaching practice management skills to pediatric residents.

To satisfy the core competencies required by the Pediatric Residency Review Committee, the author describes an educational program for the residents in a large pediatric training program. The course provides a year-long overview of multiple medical management topics. The sessions cover nonclinical subjects usually missed in other educational settings, with particular focus on areas of finance, compliance, personnel management, career advancement, and leadership. The series is currently in its third year, with a positive response from the participants, and demonstrated improvement in resident knowledge of the covered areas.
