It's time to get smart about mental health. May is Mental Health Month, a nationwide campaign by the nonprofit Mental Health America (MHA) to promote awareness and education for mental well-being. MHA reports that more than 6.5 million people participated in its online prevention and screening program last year. Nearly 80% of participants in the U.S. scored positive for moderate to severe symptoms of a mental health condition.

Payments in healthcare can be complicated, and often, small practices’ revenue cycle management (RCM) systems hinder instead of help. RCM is the business process healthcare providers use to track payment for their services and revenue generated throughout a patient's entire care experience. If your RCM is slow or inefficient, you’re not alone — and there is a way to fix it.

Live from the 2024 Medical Spa Show in Las Vegas, AmSpa founder and CEO Alex Thiersch shares fresh insights on the rapid growth of the industry and an exclusive preview of their upcoming State of the Industry Report. Twelve years ago, Alex’s work as an attorney helping a solo medical spa owner led him to establish AmSpa to offer essential guidance on compliance and safety for others within the industry. Since then, he and his team have introduced much needed resources for med spa owners including boot camps and courses for business, legal, and safety training. With legislative work happening behind the scenes in every state to develop rules and regulations, often without the input of those in the medical aesthetics industry, Alex emphasizes the importance of staying organized and having a seat at the table as new laws are introduced.

To encourage medical providers to use electronic health record (EHR) systems, the U.S. government has linked their use to Medicare reimbursement, with penalties taking effect in 2024 for providers not using the technology. But avoiding penalties is not the most compelling reason to use an EHR. The greatest benefits of EHR systems are an improved patient experience and a more profitable practice.

The technology behind electronic health records has come a long way since the systems became mainstream back in 2009. As your practice grows and changes, you might find your EHR struggling to keep up. Or maybe you’ve been dealing with an EHR that never really met your needs. If you settled years ago for a “good enough” EHR, it’s time to take a fresh look at migrating to a system that will grow with you as your practice evolves.
