Oakstone Publishing Launches Orthopaedic Practice Management Newsletter

BIRMINGHAM, Ala.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oakstone Publishing, a leading provider of audio and print information products and continuing medical education for physicians, has launched a monthly newsletter to address the practice management challenges of orthopaedic surgery practices. Orthopaedic Practice Management provides specialty-specific guidance, expert advice, how-to strategies, and real-world case studies focused on management issues faced by orthopaedic surgeons and orthopaedic practice administrators.

Critical topic areas include:

• Expansion through the addition of ancillary services and facilities
• Achieving growth through practice marketing and referral-building
• Building volume with profitable insurance, government, and employer contracts
• Avoiding liability and complying with complex regulations
• Boosting revenue through improved orthopaedic coding, orthopaedic medical billing, and collections procedures
• Slashing operating costs and increasing productivity
• Assessing new technologies for practice growth and efficiency, including orthopaedic billing software

Edited by award-winning veteran health care journalist, Marie Powers, Orthopaedic Practice Management boasts a distinguished editorial advisory board of leading orthopaedists, practice executives, and orthopaedic consultants, including James H. Herndon, MD, MBA, past president of the American Association of Orthopaedic Surgeons and professor of orthopaedic surgery at Harvard Medical School; William R. Pupkis, CMPE, CEO of Capital Region Orthopaedics, Albany, NY, and president-elect of the Medical Group Management Association's Orthopaedic Practice Assembly.
