A five-step method called the PEACE Process, developed by Heal Thy Practice speaker, Miriam Zacharias, can help clinicians develop thriving integrative practices, "without losing your shirt, your sanity, or your soul!"
The concierge model is a great option for physicians seeking more control over their personal and professional lives. But it won't cure financial woes overnight, says Marcela Dominguez, MD, a featured speaker at HPC's upcoming Heal Thy Practice conference.
Integrative medicine in an independent private practice can still fly, even in a difficult economy, as Dr. Jeff Gladd of Ft. Wayne, IN has effectively proven. The key, says Dr. Gladd, is to develop new income streams and to get paid for currently uncompensated practice time.
A thriving, economically-viable integrative practice is the dream of many clinicians. Reaching that ideal can be very challenging. Fortunately, road maps are emerging from holistic clinics, large and small, all over the country. HPC's fourth annual Heal Thy Practice conference at the Renaissance Long Beach Hotel, Nov. 9-11, 2012, will provide a valuable opportunity to learn from clinicians who’ve found ways to create and maintain healthy and health-centric practices.
The relationship between concierge practice models and standard insurance-based practice is often presented as an all-or-nothing, either-or dichotomy. In reality, many practices are doing both, according to a recent survey.
