In a managed behavioral health world, and with the challenges of successfully implementing major changes in America’s healthcare system, never before is it more important to learn how not only to survive, also to thrive in your behavioral healthcare practice. As a leader and expert in the business of private practice building and management,
Howard Baumgarten takes you through a series of education modules that merge best business practices with enhancing therapeutic technique and outcomes.
Through descriptive examples of prior experience helping groups and individuals succeed and the story of his own journey into and through his private practice, Howard shares his wisdom with warmth and humor about a topic that many clinicians often avoid.
Howard will describe numerous strategies, in a variety of areas including organization, marketing/networking, managed care, asset growth and protection, and more. You will learn the art of entrepreneurship in your clinical setting and will be able to go back to your office with an individualized business plan that meets your needs both clinically and business wise. The philosophy of practice management breeding excellent clinical outcomes will become internalized with practical tools, ethical and effective methods that make sense for today’s practitioner, and that will help you build a stronger, more successful future, professionally and personally.
