Language and Tools for the Business of Health Care (Non-CME)

Michael T. (Mickey) Harris, MD, Founder, MTH Health, New York

In this session, we will review specific metrics you need to track to run a profitable medical practice or program and some tools you can use to help manage your accounts receivable. Next, we will learn some of the language common to decision-makers in all industries and remove the mystery from financial concepts that determine whether any business (including yours) will thrive or fail. Finally, we will develop a simple business plan that will help you evaluate the financial viability of a project (new hire, program, or equipment). This will give you the credibility you need to fund your next great idea and expand your sphere of influence in your institution.

  • Use contribution margin and perform breakeven and target analyses to help in critical decision-making.
  • Track and interpret critical metrics of medical practice management.
  • List key financial concepts that affect any business, including yours.
  • Discuss the nature of fixed and variable costs and the relation among costs, volume, and profit.
10:00 am

Making Better Decisions

Michael T. (Mickey) Harris, MD, Founder, MTH Health, New York

We make thousands of decisions every day. Fortunately for everyone involved, most are automatic and work reasonably well. But as we make decisions as or on behalf of an organization, we almost always do so without the process we need to optimize our chances of a good outcome. Formalizing the decision-making process has led to faster results and better outcomes than any other factor. In this highly interactive workshop, we will apply the tools of decision authority and decision management to real issues facing the participants. We will examine universal barriers to good decision-making and learn specific strategies to overcome each.

  • Apply these strategies to specific issues facing each participant.
  • Learn the application of a decision-authority matrix for organizational decisions.
  • Recognize how universal cognitive biases affect our decisions.
  • Discuss the rationale and data supporting a formal decision-making process.
  • Use strategies to address and overcome common cognitive biases.

  • Explain ways to get involved in advocacy efforts at a grassroots level.
