However, there was still significant participation from a number of other specialties, making the results pertinent to all physicians.<\/p>\n<p><!--more-->While most of its findings were somewhat predictable the study occasionally debunked common healthcare myths \u2013 <strong>such as the demise of the independent physician practice<\/strong><strong style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\">.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>So each week since its release, we\u2019ve written articles based on the most insightful of the PPI\u2019s findings. Below are highlights from each article in an effort to give you the best of what the report has to offer.<\/p>\n<h3><strong style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\">Overcome Declining Reimbursement Rates<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>65% of physicians see declining reimbursements as the biggest threat to practice profitability. And with Medicare payments slashed by 2% since April\u2019s sequester, the outlook for doctors may seem bleak. Fortunately, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carecloud.com\/continuum\/practice-profitability-index\/brave-declining-reimbursement-rates\/\">there are ways to offset<\/a>, and even overcome, declining reimbursement rates.<\/p>\n<h3><strong style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\">Government Mandates Hurting Practice Profitability<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Three of the four most commonly cited obstacles to practice profitability are the Affordable Care Act, the ICD-10 switch and the EHR Meaningful Use push. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carecloud.com\/continuum\/practice-profitability-index\/3-government-mandates-hurting-practice-profitability\/\">Should government regulations<\/a> cause physicians so much financial strain?<\/p>\n<h3><strong style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\">EHR Adoption Rates Vary Across Specialties<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The PPI revealed that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carecloud.com\/continuum\/practice-profitability-index\/why-ehr-adoption-rates-vary-across-certain-specialties\/\">EHR adoption rates vary widely<\/a> from specialty to specialty. For example, 82% of cardiologists have adopted an EHR, while only 56% of psychiatrists have done the same. What are some of the reasons behind the discrepancies?<\/p>\n<h3><strong style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\">Get More Free Time With Outsourced Medical Billing<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>60% of physicians spend more than one day a week on administrative tasks such as billing. Although physicians may prefer to have direct oversight over billing practices, these numbers mean <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carecloud.com\/continuum\/practice-profitability-index\/outsourcing-your-medical-billing-reason\/\">it\u2019s time to outsource<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\">Cardiologists Fear The Worst<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Almost half of cardiologists surveyed have a negative outlook on their potential for profitability in the coming year, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carecloud.com\/continuum\/practice-profitability-index\/3-reasons-why-cardiologists-are-making-less-money\/\">giving them the most pessimistic view<\/a> among specialties. It appears the ACA, rising costs, and an erosion of physician autonomy are hitting cardiologists particularly hard.<\/p>\n<h3><strong style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\">Practice Management Systems to the Rescue<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Declining reimbursements (65%), rising costs (57%), the Affordable Care Act (48%), and coding and billing changes (44%) were cited as the factors most negatively affecting practice profitability. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carecloud.com\/continuum\/practice-profitability-index\/practice-management-systems-help-doctors-overcome-hurdles-profitability\/\">Choosing the right PM system<\/a> is key to battling all four issues.<\/p>\n<h3><strong style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\">Practices To Make Big Changes in 2013<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Some say old habits die-hard, but physicians don\u2019t appear to be scared of making big decisions. In the coming year, 41% are planning operational improvements. We take a look at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carecloud.com\/continuum\/practice-profitability-index\/what-operational-improvements-are-practices-looking-for-in-2013\/\">the four most common changes<\/a> and how they can benefit the average practice.<\/p>\n<h3><strong style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\">Revenue Cycle Enrichment<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Billing and collections processes are the areas most commonly targeted by physicians looking to enhance operational performance. Adopting PM software, collecting copays right away, outsourcing medical billing and hiring experienced billers are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carecloud.com\/continuum\/practice-profitability-index\/4-secrets-enriching-revenue-cycle\/\">four ways to make needed improvements<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3><strong style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\">To Sell Or Not To Sell?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Industry pundits like to prophesize the death of independent physician practices, but <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carecloud.com\/continuum\/practice-profitability-index\/are-independent-practices-headed-for-extinction\/\">the majority of independent physicians<\/a> aren\u2019t buying it. In fact, 60% said they aren\u2019t looking to sell \u2013 a stark contrast to the 11% actively looking to cash out.<\/p>\n<h3><strong style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\">Medical Conferences Impact Practice Performance<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>With 42% of physicians obtaining operational information from medical conferences, choosing the wrong one can hurt your investment. There are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carecloud.com\/continuum\/practice-profitability-index\/what-look-worthwhile-medical-conference\/\">certain factors<\/a> physicians should take into consideration when choosing conferences to attend.<\/p>\n<h3><strong style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\">Health IT Software Eases Administrative Woes<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.carecloud.com\/continuum\/practice-profitability-index\/can-health-it-software-alleviate-administrative-burdens-for-physicians\/\">Can health IT software help alleviate<\/a> the administrative burden for the 60% of physicians who spend at least one day a week on administrative tasks?<\/p>\n<h3><strong style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\">3 Medical Tech Trends for the 2<sup>nd<\/sup> Half of 2013<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Implementing a new EHR (41%), replacing an outdated EHR (25%) or replacing a practice management system (16%) are the most commonly reported ways of improving operational performance.\u00a0 Here\u2019s why these <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carecloud.com\/continuum\/practice-profitability-index\/3-medical-tech-trends-for-the-2nd-half-of-2013\/\">improvements will catch on rapidly in the 2<sup>nd<\/sup> half of the year<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In contrast to the conventional wisdom of industry naysayers \u2013 and to the wishes of some hospitals, delivery networks, and nascent ACOs \u2013 independent physician practices largely want to stay that way.\u00a0 While the Practice Profitability Index has shown the light on concerns about the operational health of practicing medicine, it also found that most doctors are focused on sustaining their independence, at least for now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In May, we released the results of the Practice Profitability Index, a survey of more than 5,000 U.S. physicians created to provide a voice to independent physician practices across the U.S. on issues impacting their financial and operational health.
