Physicians Practice and Area Businesses Partner to Improve Patient Care in Bucks County, Pennsylvania

PR Newswire (US)
BALTIMORE, May 13 /PRNewswire/ -- Physicians Practice and an
alliance of businesses in Bucks County, Pa. have joined forces to
help provide area physicians and their staff more time to devote to
patient care. This new partnership is a unique program designed to
help doctors in Bucks County better handle the cumbersome and
time-consuming issues of managing a busy practice. Members of the
Bucks County Partners include Doylestown Hospital, Fox Rothschild
LLP, Harleysville National Bank, and The Selzer Company. Through
this new collaboration, the Bucks County Partners will use
Physicians Practice's extensive resources to deliver essential
practice management tools to help local physicians manage the
business aspects of medicine more efficiently and effectively.
Physicians' need for practice management information is an
ever-increasing one. According to Pricewaterhouse Coopers, every
hour a physician spends with a patient results in 36 minutes of
paperwork. Additionally, the cost of running a medical practice has
increased and now consumes as much as 62 percent of the revenue
(2007 Medical Group Management Association Cost Survey), while
reimbursement continues to decline from year to year (2006 and 2007
Physicians Practice Fee Schedule Surveys). Furthermore, according
to the 2008 Future Physicians of America Survey, nearly 70 percent
of medical students do not feel adequately prepared for managing or
owning a practice in the future. Under their new partnership, the
Bucks County Partners will sponsor the distribution of Physicians
Practice, America's Leading Practice Management Journal, to
approximately 500 local doctors in Bucks County. Physicians
Practice will be mailed monthly, beginning in May, and will serve
to help physicians and their office staff address the numerous
challenges faced by today's medical practices. The journal will
also feature a section sponsored and written by the Bucks County
Partners highlighting updates on business services relevant to
doctors and the hospital's latest clinical offerings, as well as
articles of interest to physicians in the region. "Partnering with
Physicians Practice is a unique opportunity to help us connect with
local physicians," says Mark Connolly, Vice President of Private
Banking of Millennium Wealth Management, a division of Harleysville
National Bank. "We are pleased to offer doctors a practice
management journal aimed to ensure their success." "It is great to
be able to work with the Bucks County Partners to bring practice
management information and resources directly to physicians in
Bucks County," says Marcy Holeton, Senior Vice President and
General Manager of CMPMedica US. "Our expertise in practice
management and technology will help medical practices in Bucks
County to spend less time on business and more time with patients."
