Improve your practice from the inside out

The American College of Cardiology’s Council on Clinical Practice is hosting a webinar series to help practices navigate upcoming changes by balancing economics and quality. The series will provide tips for accessing and employing cardiovascular business management tools and resources useful for professionals of all experience levels.

The first webinar, titled “Preparing Your Practice for Public Reporting and Transparency,” will take place 2 p.m. ET May 15. With the onslaught of public reporting, it is incumbent on providers to not only understand what data is publicly reported but where to find, analyze and challenge it. Participants will learn how to identify the sources of public reporting, make sense of the data presented and identify mechanisms to challenge their data.

By understanding the many nuances and audit programs, a practice can successfully avoid any problems and penalties that arise from audits. Register here.
