We’re blowing out the candles at Power Your Practice today in honor of our site’s first birthday. PYP’s first article went live on April 26, 2011 – hard to believe how quickly the time has gone by!
To share our celebration with PYP’s loyal readers, we’re presenting our writing staff’s top five favorite pieces in a very special edition of the Power 5 roundup.
From straightforward “how-tos” to an interview with an expert industry analyst, our favorite stories span a wealth of subject matter. From healthcare technology use to medical practice employee management, we’ve always got your favorite topics covered.
How Mobile Medical Apps Could Change Health Care
Leading our list is content writer Ahmed Mori’s investigation into what role apps will play in the future of healthcare technology. This big-picture look at the mHealth trends to come covered the exciting areas of big data analysis, gamification, and medical imaging. Since apps could soon impact every aspect of your practice, PYP is committed to continuing to examine this growing area of HIT.
5 Advantages of a Cloud-Based EHR for Small Practices
EHRs are so critical to the landscape of healthcare technology that they’re a frequent topic on PYP. This particular article from Senior Content Manager Shawn McKee is a preferred piece because it hammers home a major message to practitioners in one- to five-doc organizations: a web-based digital records system is not only cost-effective but is the adaptable, accessible option that best meets their needs.
How to Handle Timely Filing Claim Denials
Sometimes we paint with broad strokes at Power Your Practice, offering readers a long-form introduction to the large topics. But we often find that the more specific an article is, the more it appeals to our already knowledgeable audience. This how-to from our valued contributors at Solutions Medical Billing is among our all-time most-read stories, and for good reason – timely filing is one of the most common reasons claims are denied.
Breaking Down the Top Health Technology Hazards for 2012
This Q&A with James P. Keller, Jr., VP of Health Technology Evaluation and Safety at the ECRI Institute, gained a wealth of traction in the social media sphere. Its popularity has inspired us at PYP to conduct more interviews with experts and leading executives in healthcare technology, so watch out for even more exclusive Q&A content here in our site’s second year.
How to Lower Your Embezzlement Risk
We round out our top-five list with some practical practice management advice from yours truly. I was surprised at how well-received this story was, but I suppose I shouldn’t have been, since my research revealed that over $500 billion is lost to internal business theft every year (according to the U.S. Department of Commerce). My mission as a content writer at PYP is to provide useful, actionable content for practice managers, so hopefully, this story is an example of that.
Thanks (as always!) for reading and subscribing to Power Your Practice. We’re proud to have become a leading resource for doctors and practice managers in just one year of existence, and we look forward to helping you optimize your operations for many years to come.
