It is important to understand practice management, whether you are a hospital/clinic employee or someone who owns/wants to own a business. Clinicians are expected to comply with changes in scope of practice and new federal/state regulations governing clinical practice, along with assuring that their billing information is used appropriately. Civil penalties, fines, criminal prosecution, or loss of license can be the consequences of not keeping informed. Gain practical and legal advice from an attorney/NP on information related to risk management, malpractice, billing/coding, and financial management.
