21st Century “Horse & Buggy” Practice

Some areas of practice inspire copycat behavior…

We’ve all seen it: otolaryngologists & allergy shot clinics, cardiologists & peripheral angiography, hospitalists & house call medicine, etc.

Hospitalists…house call medicine??

That’s right–house calls are no longer just for antediluvian fossils.

Primary care physicians are establishing productive house call practices throughout the country. This growth is facilitated in large part by replication-capable EHR systems which are effective regardless of connectivity issues. Charting is continuously maintained, putting an end to late days at the office updating records. Coding is fair and transparent, reducing risk and helping practices prosper.

Here’s a quick look at one of these growing practices:

  • Outpatient only: no admits, no call;
  • 300-patient census;
  • Ongoing case management by staff NP’s;
  • 10 patients/day;
  • Charts are updated while MA’s “chauffeur” doctors to their appointments

For the doctor who appreciates a well-managed practice, autonomy and strong support, we can offer an attractive production-based salary plus car, phone, CME, and a full benefits package.

FYI–Most doctors practicing this way feel their time and effort is well spent.
