  • Title: Bending the cost curve and increasing revenue: a family medicine model that works!
    Author: Katz BJ, Needham MR.
    Journal: Prim Care; 2012 Dec; 39(4):671-81. PubMed ID: 23148960.
    Abstract:
    This article attempts to illustrate ways in which family physician practices are able to demonstrate high value, enhanced quality, and streamlined costs, essential components of practice sustainability. Specific examples are provided to assist practices to consider questions and information that allow for skillful engagement during contract negotiations, consider increasing practice revenues by adopting practice enhancements that make sense for the location of the practice and community needs, develop workflow analyses, and review opportunities for expense reduction.
