5 pressing questions facing today's physicians — and what experts say you should do

In every issue of Medical Economics, we aim to address the most urgent and practical concerns facing physicians and medical practices.

For our July-August issue, we sat down with several industry experts to tackle a range of topics directly impacting the health and longevity of your practice — and your peace of mind as a physician.

As the health care landscape grows more complex, independent and private practice physicians must adapt quickly or risk falling behind. That means not only integrating technology thoughtfully and strategically, but also protecting yourself against evolving malpractice risks, shoring up your financial plan and making time to think long-term.

In these five Q&As, we cover what you need to know now — and what you should do next:

• The worrisome state of independent practice
• Sticking with your money plan
• The new standard for medical malpractice
• Why technology integration is no longer optional for physician practices
• The importance of strategic planning at your office
