Practice Management

ACCP Initiates a Practice Management Department

With today's increasingly challenging and changing health-care environment, the ACCP has recognized the need to develop an active Practice Management Department to serve its members who face ever-expanding practice management requirements.

Historically, physicians have focused on the clinical practice of medicine. With the implementation of managed care and reimbursement by relative value units, physicians have been forced to take more responsibility for running their practices more like a business. During medical school and throughout their training, physicians do not receive the needed education on the business side of running a practice. Consequently, many physicians now look to their specialty societies to provide education and leadership in the practice management arena.

ACCP Practice Management Department Mission Statement

To provide education, advocacy, and resources to members
for efficient practice management for optimal patient care.
