Physicians Practice App Explores New Practice Models

NORWALK, Conn., Oct. 30, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- UBM Medica US today announced that Physicians Practice, the award-winning practice management resource for physicians and medical office staff, released the latest issue of its free tablet application, available from the App Store. This issue, Exploring New Options, features detailed survey results, highlights the best U.S. states to practice medicine, and offers tips on how to deal with staff squabbles. 

The results from the 2014 Great American Physician Survey, sponsored by Kareo, indicate that acceptance of new practice models is growing steadily — both to meet the needs of physicians and their patients.  More than 1,300 physicians were polled and full results are compiled in the issue.

Additionally, our annual Best States to Practice ranking of the most physician-friendly states provides a list of the best locations for your practice.  "Every physician will want a unique set of factors when determining where to practice medicine, but they all want a favorable environment to do so," said Keith L. Martin, group editorial director at UBM Medica US. "Our annual rankings, featured in this issue of the app, will help confirm your practice is in the right location, or have you thinking about a move to a more favorable locale."  

For nearly 25 years, Physicians Practice has provided practical advice on the business of medicine through a variety of mediums including print, digital, and live events. The Physicians Practice tablet app debuted for the iPad in 2013, and continues to combine practical advice with interactive features such as podcasts, videos, checklists, and featured articles.
