Fortunately, according to Physicians Practice, "Most of the fixes are configuration work someone on your staff can finish in an afternoon if it's scheduled now instead of the week between Christmas and New Year's."

Researchers from Ohio State University found that nearly 60% of more than 5,800 calls made to mental health providers went unanswered, with less than a quarter of the calls leading to a scheduled appointment. "These calls uncovered widespread ghost networks in commercial insurers’ provider networks, which cover most insured U.S. residents," according to Healthcare Dive. The researchers reported 22% of the calls revealed specialty errors within provider listings, and another 11% of calls were to disconnected or out-of-service phone lines.

According to a new report from the Milbank Memorial Fund, approximately 90% of nurse practitioners train in primary care, but fewer than half appear to work in primary care practices. "Rising demand and higher pay in acute care, psychiatry and other specialties have pulled primary care-trained NPs away, according to the report," writes Medical Economics. Another key insight from the report: the nurse practitioner workforce is expected to grow 11% annually from 2023 to 2030, compared with 1.1% for physicians.

How many hats do you wear as a private practice owner? More than half of the practice leaders recently surveyed by Medical Group Management Association (MGMA) said that they have added four or more new job responsibilities to their role in the past two years—92% reported they have at least one new function. "The most common hidden responsibility was centered around people management tasks that don't always appear on a formal job description," writes MGMA Senior Editorial Manager Chris Harrop. "On the staff side, that means HR, retention, culture, a company social committee, and emotional support to teams."
