If you are into numerology the number three means creative inspiration. In the last three days I have been presented three times how home care for patients is emerging as a key trend in health care delivery.

Did you know that MedMan has a thank you program for administrators who introduce MedMan to deserving medical groups in need of a physician practice management solution? Medical group administrators tend to make a move in their careers every three to five years.

When we are called in to manage a medical practice we usually find they have been over-consulted. They have a good idea of what needs doing, a dusty consulting report, and many good ideas from recent medical meetings. They just can’t get around to implementation. Management is harder than consulting. Guaranteeing results is a higher art form than simply pointing out what’s wrong. Ma ybe that’s why MedMan doesn’t have much competition. We stick around to fix the problem
