Additionally, Mr. Dahl will lead a detailed session on Key Performance Indicators: The Clinical Signs of the Health of Your Practice. What are clinical signs of your practice’s operational or financial health, and how can you identify and address early warning signs? Mr. Dahl will provide a timeline for how often to review and evaluate your practice’s business metrics, share tools to help you identify early signs that indicate your practice may have a poor prognosis and offer tips to put your practice back on a path to good fiscal and operational health.

After these informative discussions, the workshop will explore how to implement cost- and time-saving technologies in patient care during Telehealth in Rheumatology Practice. Attorney Jesse Overbay, JD, will walk through the pros and cons of telemedicine for rheumatology practices, which will include a review of the rules, regulations and guidelines. He will share useful tips to develop and implement the necessary disclosure statements and licensure to provide telemedicine. Additionally, Mr. Overbay will address how to follow the rules of remote patient consultation and treatment via telemedicine both within your state and across state lines.
