Practice Management: A Practical Guide to Starting and Running a Medical Office
September 19, 2008 | Comments Off
The book describes the steps to opening day. First, the basics, such as financing, rent, coding, hiring, contracting, records, malpractice insurance. Then, business strategies and more complex issues, such as money management and the influence of outside factors. A chapter deals with typical business encounters for the private practitioner. Finally buying a practice is discussed.
Customer Review: Brash and unpolished
This book was pretty awful. I expected a thoughtful and well-educated approach to the subject matter at hand. Instead, this book was very brash (and not very well edited).
As others have noted, it is good if you want to get an overall understanding of the ins and outs of a medical practice. However, it leaves much to be desired with regard to thorough advice I would feel comfortable following on the specific topics mentioned. The author definitely needs to become more educated in the way of computers, for that section was highly outdated even for 2004 (when the book was published).
Customer Review: Not a treatise on MTME (medical transition management engineering)!
Medical transition management engineering (MTME) is a complex field not easily understood by physicians or office managers/administrators. Christian Rainer provides independent medical practitioners a book on common sense elements of their work that they can use today. The book is not cluttered with concepts that are too theoretical for physicians or managers to understand. There are many medical practice management books available, but none quite so clear as this one.

Customer Review: basic info
This is pretty basic info. My guess is that if you are interested enough to buy the book, you already know what it says.
Knowledge, Power, and Practice: The Anthropology of Medicine and Everyday Life (Comparative Studies of Health Systems and Medical Care)
September 17, 2008 | Comments Off
These original essays, which combine theoretical argument with empirical observation, constitute a state-of-the-art platform for future research in medical anthropology. Ranging in time and locale, the essays are based on research in historical and cultural settings. The contributors accept the notion that all knowledge is socially and culturally constructed and examine the contexts in which that knowledge is produced and practiced in medicine, psychiatry, epidemiology, and anthropology. Professionals in behavioral medicine, public health, and epidemiology as well as medical anthropologists will find their insights significant.
Improving Primary Care: Strategies and Tools for a Better Practice (Lange Medical Books)
September 16, 2008 | Comments Off
The authors of the world’s best-selling health policy text offer valuable insights and guidance to primary care practitioners
Practice Improvement: The Primary Care Source Book offers frank appraisals and concrete recommendations for primary care practitioners on how to meet the huge, stress-inducing, challenges that they face on a daily basis. The authors offer innovative approaches and suggestions to dealing with primary care issues ranging from the latest electronic technologies to non-traditional options for the patient-physician encounter.
Customer Review: Redesigning Primary Care
Primary Care is the foundation of any health care system, yet in the U.S. it is undervalued. This timely book provides a recipe with examples to redesigning primary care in the U.S. and anywhere. The authors are experts and are familiar with the latest innovative models. The only thing missing here is a description of the new online platform of care that will be most peoples’ personal medical home in the future.
Customer Review: Great, readable resource
As a Physician Assistant and an instructor in the Stanford Primary Care Associate Program, I highly recommend this book. Improving Primary Care: Strategies and Tools for a Better Practice is good reading for physician assistants and for doctors, nurses, and nurse practitioners, who feel that their clinics or medical practices need to work in a better way. It is also good reading for patients who need to know what they can expect from a medical office or clinic. Why is it so hard to get an prompt appointment and what can be done about it? What does it mean to be “patient-centered”? Is the 15-minute visit with the primary care provider adequate to provide all the acute, chronic and preventive services that people need? If not, what can be done about it? All these questions and many more are discussed in detail in this readable book.

Users’ Guides to the Medical Literature: A Manual for Evidence-Based Clinical Practice (Users’ Guides to the Medical Literature: a Manual for Evidence-Based Clinical Practice)
September 13, 2008 | Comments Off
…the definitive tome on evidenced-based medicine… uniquely organized for an intuitive learning experience. Offers in-depth expansion of methodology, stats, and cost issues that emerge in medical research. (Book/CD)
Customer Review: Great little book!
This is a small but mighty book that takes you beyond the basics of evidence based practice. The statistics section is nicely written in easy-to-understand terms. Don’t know what NNTT or NNTH mean? What about odds ratios or likelihood ratios or confidence intervals? Well it’s all in there with some good examples. A good accompaniment for any evidence-based practice book. Buy the book used though. It’s not worth the high price for a new one.

Customer Review: Helps
If you are starting your practice and don’t want to come up with your own policy book, this is a great tool for reference! We have used it in our practice and it has been well worth the price.
Customer Review: Book Review
The book content offers good basic instructions for a variety of medical office functions along with some form examples. There are some topics which could have been expanded a bit more to enable a non-experienced medical office person to understand why and how a certain task or responsibility should be taken on. IT does provide some essential basics and is a moderately good reference guide.
