FAST Practice: Medical Practice Management Information at the Speed of Sound

Phoenix, MD (PRWEB) June 18, 2007 -- This morning, Greenbranch Publishing, the leader in medical practice management publishing, announced the launch of FAST Practice: Medical Practice Information at the Speed of Sound, a new subscription monthly audio newsletter publication from the Publishers of The Journal of Medical Practice Management.

Says President Nancy Collins, "Build on the Journal-Club concept, where expert editors choose and summarize articles from the literature, FAST Practice is the killer AP for medical practice management. Not only are our expert editors reviewing articles from the following categories:

-Practice Management
-Financial Management
-Organizational Dynamics
-Risk Management and Med Mal
-Human Resources Management
-Marketing
-Information Technology
-Coding

But each interesting and engaging article is read by a professional voice actor to produce each monthly issue FAST Practice with 60 minutes of listening time, delivered via audio files."    

"The Executive Editor of FAST Practice is Tim W. Boden, CMPE. A seasoned practice administrator and journalist himself, Tim Boden constantly scans dozens of journals and newsletters, web sites and books to "cherry pick" the best, most practical information you can use to optimize your medical practice." A selection of the journals reviewed includes the following:

AMA News, MGMA Connexion, Physician Executive, Modern Healthcare, Medical Economics, Healthcare IT News, Healthcare Informatics, Family Practice Management, The Journal of Medical Practice Management, Coding Edge, CPT Assistant, Group Practice Journal, New England Journal of Medicine, Health Leaders, Physicians Practice, American Journal of Managed Care, Health Data Management and more!

Tim W. Boden, CMPE, said today, "FAST Practice is designed to provide the most practice management information and advice in the least amount of time. Trying to keep up with the latest ideas for optimizing a medical practice is like trying to drink from a fire hose - there's just too much info coming at you at once."

Here are some articles abstracted for the inaugural issue, including commentary to place the material in the context of today's medical practice:
