Challenging Patients: To Dismiss or Not to Dismiss, that is the Question:

Unfortunately, not all patients and families are easy to work with.

Attend this session for the answers to these questions and more:

• Should you continue to care for patients who don’t adhere to their treatment plan, pay their bills or no show frequently?
• Is there right way to dismiss a patient? Is there a wrong way and what are the consequences?
• Should you do anything if the patient fires you?

Learn how to protect you practice, your providers and your patients during the dismissal process.

The Capital Medical Society is pleased to announce a new membership benefit:  My Green Doctor.  This free program shows how to add environmental sustainability to your offices.   It requires your office manager or you to add only five minutes of Green Team business to each regular staff meeting. You will save money — as much as $2000 per doctor per year– as you adopt wise environmental practices.  In addition, there are free brochures, posters, and other tools for teaching the office staff, patients and families.  My Green Doctor helps us to prepare our patients for the health effects of climate change.

We recommend that you register at My Green Doctor and ask your office colleagues to register at well.  Registration is free, safe, and takes under two minutes:  https://www.MyGreenDoctor.org.  The site is for all healthcare professionals, not only physicians.  Your  office will receive a free certificate for the waiting room just for registering.

Your office manager will learn how to start a Green Team that meets for five minutes as part of each usual staff meeting.  Every meeting is scripted in the “Meeting-by-Meeting Guide” so that there is nothing for your manager to study in advance. The office will read the “Ten Reasons to Go Green” and use the “Meeting-by-Meeting Guide” to make gradual improvements. You can qualify for the Green Doctor Office Certificate in just six weeks!  The $250 certificate is free to you as a member of the Capital Medical Society.

My Green Doctor is a practice management tool that is designed by Florida doctors, is science-based, and is comprehensive.  It is used by hundreds of offices in 50 countries because it really works.  Check out this new, free CMS membership benefit!

“Message from On High: Your Mattress is Not a Financial Plan, and Your Dog Can’t Be Your Executor.”

You may have heard friends talking about financial and estate planning seminars that they attended, or seen a flyer in the mail or newspaper and thought to yourself:  “That sounds like a good idea, but is it really worth it?”
YES!
Education and information are the first steps to putting together a timely plan. Procrastination is the number one reason people do not have plans in place. They either procrastinate because the issues are difficult to deal with, such as death, disability, taxes, and investment strategies, or because they do not know where to start and what questions to ask. By attending this seminar, you will be able to listen to a panel of experienced, local professionals address the topics of legal matters, accounting and tax reporting, trusts, fiduciaries, and insurance products. In addition to the panelists, there will also be the opportunity to confer with local financial institution and advisor representatives to arm yourself with the knowledge to make informed decisions in your financial and estate-planning. No matter whether you are single, just married, married with children, approaching retirement, or have parents or adult children who need your help, you will benefit by attending.
