AMA's practice management center website gets a redesign
NEWS IN BRIEF — Posted Jan. 23, 2012
To better serve physicians in need of practice management resources, the American Medical Association launched a redesigned website on Jan. 11 for its Practice Management Center (link).
About 7,000 people visit this website monthly. "With that level of interest, it is critical to make sure the AMA's tools are easy to find when physicians need them," said AMA President Peter W. Carmel, MD.
This website includes tools to help physicians choose a practice management system, establish fees and negotiate managed care contracts, as well as navigate health insurer rules and government regulations. Physicians also may sign up for emailed practice management alerts or the online community called the "paperless practice group."
Most resources on the website are available to AMA members and nonmembers.
