Concierge Medicine Today Is On A 'Thank You Note Crusade'   “What if Doctors could “scale” Kindness? I think they can and it only costs $0.55 cents (the price of a stamp)! I say all of this to say that the data supporting one simple, unsolicited, seemingly insignificant piece of paper could change everything between you and your Patient(s) and forever cement the relationship between the Patient-Physician.” ~Editor, CMT/Author, The Doctor’s Expanded Guide to Concierge Medicine   How do you celebrate your Patients? Or, do you ever celebrate something or someone in your practice by writing them a note?   For many Physicians, PAs, Office Managers and the like working in medicine, you love this idea, but it’s still a little awkward.   Today, we’re going to help you do the one thing that might have been holding you back.   That is, START.   © Concierge Medicine Today, LLC.

Our guest is Richard D. Palarea, CEO & Co-founder of Kermit.   Learn More at https://www.kermitppi.com/   Kermit is an analytics platform that delivers insight to the fragmented spend category of physician preference items. Kermit equips supply chain managers, surgeons and executives with real-time data on implantable medical device transactions, offering unprecedented visibility that’s saving hospitals millions of dollars.   "We created Kermit, an analytics platform that does just that, with a team that draws on its deep understanding and experience in the medical device industry where it counts; clinical expertise, supply chain management, procurement, cost control and the appreciation for the intricate worlds of the surgeon, hospital administration and suppliers. Formed in 2011 in Baltimore, Maryland, we’ve implemented Kermit within hospitals across the country who now use a collaborative approach and our evidence-based framework to bring control of PPI spend back where it belongs. We now manage 40% of the implant spend transacting in our home state and provide services to a national customer base."   Richard co-founded Kermit after nearly 30 years at the helm of PA & Associates, a national leader in transportation spend management. His experience in negotiation, bidder relations, application design and development, marketing and all aspects of business management prepared him well for his current role. His passion for the transformative power of collaborative, cloud-based and mobile technologies in business makes him particularly well-suited to lead the Kermit team.   Richard’s work has been featured in The New York Times and Microsoft’s Startup Stories. The Baltimore Business Journal recognized his firm as one of the Fastest Growing Privately Held Businesses and one of the area's Largest Turnaround and Management Companies. When he’s not orchestrating the new landscape of PPI spend management, Richard enjoys personal fitness, church service, taking the checkered flag in high-performance kart racing and investing in the lives of children by coaching youth sports.   © Concierge Medicine Today, LLC.

Pricing a subscription-based program or Membership in a medical practice is often the most terrifying question facing Physicians entering this space.   However, more often than not, your fear gets a voice, not a vote. And, the skepticism you thought would separate you from your Patients is usually met with uncommon grace and even acceptance by your Patients and your local community.   So, what should you charge your patients?   A simple question, but for the new DocPreneur it’s often complicated and intimidating.   As a Patient and observer of this space now for over a decade and having interviewed countless Physicians about this topic, I'm often reminding Doctors that 'If Concierge Medicine is about super-servanthood, you have nothing to apologize for ...'   © Concierge Medicine Today, LLC.

Happy National Doctors Day. We cannot let this day of all days go by without recognizing your influential role in our world and more specifically, in our lives. We see you, we believe in you and we are FOR you!   We (your Patients) are your biggest fans — or at least I am!    When five words from you, mean more than fifty words about you, we say a special **thanks** to you and all Physicians on this day because of the impact you’ve had on our lives and our family. It should be a national holiday IMO. Wouldn’t that be cool!?!    You’re unique personalities, your service and specialized medical expertise and sacrifice don’t go unnoticed or unappreciated in our lives.   One day is simply not enough to express our sincere gratitude for your *specific* influence, involvement and leadership in so many peoples lives.   We are your Patient(s) and we are forever grateful FOR you!   Thank you. And, thank you for living and breathing this vision whereby we know better than anyone … “It’s no longer about being the best Doctor in the world anymore, it’s about being the best Doctor FOR the world, FOR your Patients and For your local community.”   Thank you.   FOR YOU, FOR DOCTORS, ~Michael, Editor-in-Chief   © Concierge Medicine Today, LLC.

Today our guest is Dr. Nilda Perez. She Helps Behavioral Healthcare organizations improve & innovate their clinical and business operations through high-performing strategies and leading-edge practices.   Healthcare likes to throw a lot of dramatic words around especially at medical conferences. For example, the word moving rapidly, expansion, modernize, and my favorite, innovation.   So we caught up with our friend and Behavioral healthcare physician, Dr. Nilda Perez to unpack what innovation is all about, why it's important and how it can be practically applied inside a medical practice.   Merriam-Webster defines innovation as 1 : a new idea, method, or device : novelty. 2 : the introduction of something new.   Dr. Nilda Perez combines her three decades of behavioral healthcare experience with her doctorate degree in Strategic Leadership and Foresight to help behavioral health organizations improve & innovate their clinical and business operations through high-performing strategies and leading-edge practices.   She works with behavioral healthcare professionals to develop innovative therapeutic programs, preventative methods, rehabilitative structures and supportive care. Her goal is to equip behavioral healthcare organizations through the lens of strategic foresight with tools that will address present and future challenges in innovative ways and position the behavioral healthcare industry for a sustainable future.   "I’ll assess your leadership team and staff, complete an analysis, and create a roadmap that addresses your challenges." Learn More ... "Using the recommendations made during the consulting stage, you and your staff will receive customized training to implement innovative the solutions." Learn More ... "Alone or as an extension of the training phase, I’m available to you whenever you need me." Learn More ...   LEARN MORE & CONNECT WITH DR.
