55. Take Back Your Practice Step One - Your Ideal Job Description

Physicians are faced with a unique set of challenges in their profession. They must balance providing quality care to patients as a lightworker while dealing with the increasing pressures of their organization’s revenue model.

To help alleviate this, it is important to create an ideal job description that is tailored to the ideal medical practice for each individual physician. The practice optimization process involves understanding the current state and what can be done to improve it. This will help them find an environment where they can thrive and make a positive impact on their patients' lives.
