Healthcare is in a state of major change. Medical Economics wants to help physicians share their stories, strategies, and approaches to fighting a myriad of professional challenges.

Up to five contestants will receive $500 when accepted for publication in Medical Economics and/or on www.medicaleconomics.com (which is a part of the modernmedicine.com network). The editorial staff will judge, determine, and notify contest winners.

Some of the topics could include (but aren't limited to):

  • Workflow

  • Patient engagement

  • Patient adherence

  • Prior authorization

  • Ancillary services

  • Team-based care/care coordination

  • Negotiating with payers

  • Technology

Submissions will be accepted until July 10, 2014.
