In professional publications, seminars and events, the quality of practice management is often mentioned. However, it turns out that it is mostly used as a phrase and lacks a substantive underpinning. Yet the definition is quite simple and pragmatic.

Some general practitioners and specialists are convinced that it is not necessary to differentiate between patients with health insurance and those with private health insurance within the scope of the practice management services, even if the quality of medical care is the same. Another part works with priority lane approaches, even if medical professional organisations dispute this fact. How do the results compare?

The results of the IFABS Practice Management Tracker© show that for the most part there are no “real” teams working in GP and specialist practices, only groups. As a result, practice owners negligently limit the efficiency and productivity of their operations, reduce the quality of patient care, increase costs and reduce their success. Viewed in aggregate, however, the performance of outpatient medicine as a whole also suffers as a result.

The complexity of practice management, with its multiple interdependencies among action areas, makes it difficult for practice owners to determine starting points for change, whether to eliminate perceived deficiencies or to develop the practice. The Opportunity Radar© offers a simple solution.

The results of the IFABS company comparison-Tracker© for general practice, specialist practice and dental practice management make it clear that up to thirty percent of the time resources used in practice operations are wasted completely unnecessarily and that substantial creative freedom exists.

The transformation of work in primary care and specialty practices is making slow progress. Physician representatives and advocacy groups cite immature technology, unsatisfactory reimbursement and unresolved data privacy issues as the main reasons. But these aspects are not causal.

For most doctors in private practice, it is clear: colleagues who are already involved with digitisation – i.e. the possibilities outside the TI specifications – are technology freaks and tinkerers. But the reality is different: they are “normal” physicians, but with foresight, innovative spirit and entrepreneurial qualities.

A smoothly functioning practice management is the central starting point for achieving all conceivable practice goals: reducing work pressure, increasing efficiency and productivity, further improving patient satisfaction, increasing success or securing the future. But how do practice owners succeed in aligning their management in this way, even in the context of dynamically changing working conditions?

A recent study by the Bitkom umbrella organization shows that many patients are specifically looking for explanatory and further information on the Internet after their visits to the doctor. In addition to a fundamentally increased interest in health, medical professionals are responsible for this with patient conversations in Twitter format.

A key prerequisite for smooth practice management functionality in practices with multiple physicians is that the medical team largely harmonizes in its leadership and management behavior and “pulls in the same direction.” Disruptions to harmony have a direct negative impact on teamwork and staff work performance.
