Seeking your Medical Practice Management [Horror] Story

Posted on February 11, 2010 by Dr. David Edward Marcinko MBA MEd CMP™

Help us Find a Case Report Learning Experience

By Ann Miller; RN, MHA

We at the ME-P have been reporting for the past four years on the troubles in which medical professionals often find themselves while running a private medical practice. It’s difficult for doctors to stay abreast of the healthcare industrial complex, or always select the right consultants. And, it’s often more difficult – once consultants are retained – to have expectations met or exceeded.

Often, it is a matter of not knowing, what you don’t know.

Difficult Doctor Clients

And, it is true that doctors make difficult clients in some instances. This occurs because some are desperate for practice enhancement solutions, but don’t know where to turn for help? Others, may have had a prior negative experienced with a business consultant, or management guru, more interested in their bottom line than the doctor’s success?

Assessment

Read this Federal Government report to learn what can happen when your consultant is not an informed medical management practitioner. Although almost a decade old, its’ premise is still fresh today [ie., buyer beware]!

Call to Action

To illustrate the problem, we’re looking to shine a light on the [un] lucky doctor who has dealt with poor managerial advice from a consultant, or had a bad experience with one. Give us the gory details and journalistic 5Ws of your ordeal so that others may learn. You may be named, or remain anonymous, as you wish.

Submissions

Please submit your best [worst] case study exprience to me at: MarcinkoAdvisors@msn.com If appropriate, we will publish in an upcoming edition of the ME-P, so that we might all humbly learn from you.

Understanding the New “Mixed” Economy

Posted on February 11, 2010 by Dr. David Edward Marcinko MBA MEd CMP™

Musings of an Informed Thought-Leader

By Somnath Basu PhD, MBA

Brief Excerpt

The recent debacle in the financial markets has opened up a plethora of issues that require serious attention from all market participants. Perhaps the most serious concern is the emergence of a “mixed” economy where both “public” and government-owned enterprises will coexist with “private” enterprises.

Review of Past Performance

Unfortunately, the historical performances of such economies have been fairly dismal. The debacle is also bound to usher in additional regulation of financial markets. The new regulations are likely to focus on ways to control the possibilities of similar failures in the future.

Assessment

However, the structure of regulation should not be constructed on the basis of how the markets failed the people but instead on how people failed the market. The ramifications of the debacle require our attention and understanding, especially the possibilities of the existence of a regime of both high inflation and high market volatility.
