Practice Management Books

I received this book and it was in excellent condition. There was a short period of time between ordering and receiving.

Excerpts from interviews with U.S. Forest Service chiefs whose tenures span fifty years create an intriguing history of the trends and developments of the U.S. Forest Service, a half-century of rapid change and controversies. From civil rights and wilderness management issues to environmental conflicts, The Chiefs Remember: The Forest Service, 1952-2001 bring a personal touch and is recommended reading for for any non-specialist general reader interested in the Forest Service's history or environmental policy development as a whole.

As a case manager, this book will help me to manage my adolescent and help them with the situation

Excellent. This book has been absolutely indispensible to me as I have struggled to set up sensible investments in the PRC. I had no idea what a mine-field of problems I would face, and couldn't have succeeded without the insight, advice and practical information contained in this wonderful book.

People, I strongly urge you to read this book, even if you know nothing about Chinese law. It's a wonderful read with startling insights into the complex system that is Chinese Law.

Would someone please help me to find books to review for a new program at my College...Chiropractic Assistant, or Chiropractic Office procedures

Thanks

It was wonderful to see this book come into print. It has proved to be an invaluable resource to me when confronted with the weekly patient that just does not quite fit the mold. This series has a goal of providing practical approaches to common problems. This book fits perfectly into that niche.
It is insightful and has distilled the diagnosis and treatment of common pain complaints into practical, relevent and easily applicable information for the busy practitioner. From Chapter one discussing the epidemiology of chronic pain to Chapter 3 on the pathogenesis of chronic pain this book acts as a succinct and knowledgeable colleague to assist the primary care practitioner in their management of the chronic pain patient.
The book is divided into six sections: Introduction (Chapters 1 and 2), Pathogenesis (Chapter 3), Common Chronic Pain Conditions (Chapters 4-10), Special Groups (Chapters 11-14), Comorbid Conditions (Chapters 15 and 16) and finally a section on Opioids. Further, there are wonderful patient education materials included in the appenidices as well as additional materials that most practitioners will find extremely practical (e.g., a treatment table for the management of headache in Appendix E).
If this were not enough, there is an ebook included with the hard copy that allows one to place the book on their laptop or PDA if so desired. This is truly extraordinary for a book of this type. This allows for the marvelous recommendations and treatment algorithms to be brought truly right to the patient whether that be outpatient or inpatient. I cannot say enough good things about this wonderful text and urge anyone in primary care with chronic pain patients to at least take a look at this text. It is the sine quo non of readily applicable evidence based medicine.

Gerber's E-Myth theory works well for billing and claims processing startups: most billing services fail because billers are "technicians" with little knowledge about how to manage successful business.

Billing is an especially difficult business because it must succeed in an increasingly adversarial environment, where billing complexity creates opportunities for providers to commit fraud and for payers--to benefit at the expense of the providers. A naive outsourced billing office owner is helpless against insurance companies armed with significant resources devoted to denying reimbursement and including professionally managed processes and leading-edge technology.

Read three books before deciding to start your own billing service:

1) "Claim Success!"
2) "Start Your Own Medical Claims Billing Service"
3) Gerber's E-myth

Yuval Lirov, Practicing Profitability - Billing Network Effect for Revenue Cycle Control in Healthcare Clinics and Chiropractic Offices: Collections, Audit Risk, SOAP Notes, Scheduling, Care Plans, and Coding

This was a required textbook for a class. It is so comprehensive and easy to understand and implement that I have since ordered copies for other teachers I work with. Not only will you learn about the basics of behavior management and the whys and how's of it but the author provides step-by-step programs for various types of misbehavior situations - whole class, individual, etc. All the examples have include to determine baselines, how to implement the program, when to change it, etc. This book focus' on HOW to change behaviors for the better rather than a bunch of science and yet it IS all based on scientifically proven methods. If you are a teacher and want to learn how to reduce those problem behaviors this is the book for you!

As a new teacher faced with a classroom of at-risk high school students, I found myself utilizing every trick in the book I had learned through life to maintain order. Reading Tauber enabled me to quickly understand six classroom management systems that range on a continuum from behaviorist to humanist approaches. I realized where I was most comfortable on that spectrum and learned key techniques that fit within that approach, as well as others. Great chapters on democracy in the classroom, how to utilize acting skills, and bullying as well. One of my best education books on a shelf of over 35 textbooks.
