New Courses Added to Leadership Academy Agenda
[Posted 01/25/07]

Three new courses, including two more practice management workshops, have been added to the agenda for this year’s Leadership Academy, April 13-15 in Monterey.

You can now choose from six practice management workshops to help you and your staff improve the efficiency — and the bottom line — of your medical practice. These powerful workshops were designed for physicians, office managers, administrators, and billing and collections personnel.

Practice Management Workshop Topics

• Financial Performance: How to Run Your Practice Like a Real Business
• Grow Your Business: Acquire the Tools You Need to Drive Practice Performance
• Fee Schedule Analysis: Maximizing Reimbursement and Profitability
• E&M Coding for Physicians: Key Guidelines for Proper Payment
• Electronic Health Records: Strategies for Success
• Taking Charge: Third-Party Payor Contract Analysis and Negotiation

Also new on the agenda is a workshop to help physicians understand Medicare’s new quality reporting program, which takes effect on July 1.

In addition, this year’s academy will offer presentations on an array of current health care topics, including physician leadership in quality improvement, hospital-physician relations, professionalism in medicine, health system reform, and more.

This year’s academy also offers expanded social and networking activities, including a cocktail reception at the Monterey Bay Aquarium.

Early-bird tuition is $595 for members, $895 for nonmembers. After March 16, tuition is $695 for members, $995 for nonmembers. Attendees can receive up to 14 AMA PRA Category 1 CreditsTM.

Since its inception in 1997, the Leadership Academy has emerged as one of the most important health policy and leadership development meetings on the West Coast. With the quality of content, the stature of the faculty, and the number of CME hours offered, CMA’s Leadership Academy rivals conferences that cost twice as much to attend.
