17.3-CEO note

We are in interesting times. For many, it feels like they're on shifting sand, continually struggling to stand straight and move forward. For others, changes are coming thick and fast, and it's hard to keep up. Prices are on the move (and not in the right direction), making everyday costs more expensive with demand being high for many goods and services. Businesses are having to be creative in how they resolve these issues while trying to stay in business, keep their employees employed, and still provide quality to their customers to keep them happy. It's very challenging and there is no magic wand to make it all go away. Well at least on this level anyway. We are all having to go with the flow right now, with many desiring an end to, what feels like, a bad dream. But the question on everyone's lips is the big one of: when? When will we wake up, and what will life look like when we do?

We need to be careful about getting bogged down in the negativity and look closer at the small miracles around us every day. They're there, and we just need to keep our eyes and hearts open and recognize them for what they are.

This issue is a little different to what we normally provide to you. Our cover article, written by L.E. Shepherd, gives an amazing amount of information (and opinion) about the changes and challenges we are facing in our physician offices and hospitals. I hope you enjoy it and learn from it as much as I did.

We have other great articles about ways that medical practices can beat inflation, offsetting staffing shortage-induced revenue loss, revenue cycle management, social determinants of health, and leadership abilities. We also have informative articles on prostate surgery, telehealth, and NIST publications.

I'm sure you'll agree with me that there is a wide variety of topics this issue and I know you'll enjoy them.

Until next time…

Storm Kulhan, CEO
