    $119 | Did you know that compliance programs for individual and small group physician practices shifted from voluntary to mandatory with the passage of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA)? Since 2010, all healthcare providers enrolling in Medicare or Medicaid have been required to establish, implement, and maintain an effective compliance program as a condition of participation. This educational session will guide learners through the Office of Inspector General’s (OIG) recommended framework for developing compliance programs in individual and small-group practices. The presentation will break down the essential elements of an effective program and help participants understand how these standards support ethical practice operations. According to the OIG, a strong compliance program not only reduces the risk of fraud and abuse but also supports physicians in submitting accurate, complete, and truthful claims. By adopting these best practices, providers can protect their organizations, ensure regulatory adherence, and promote a culture of integrity in healthcare delivery.

    Practice Management Leadership Summit

    November 6, 2026
    8:00 am CST - 4:00 pm CST
    Live/Virtual
    Seven 1-hour courses
    7 CEUs

    Session #1: The Practice Accelerator: Filling Schedules, Launching Services, and Scaling New Providers
    We open the day where the money leaks out: an empty appointment slot is revenue you never get back. Starting from the true, high cost of an empty chair, this session delivers actionable marketing frameworks to eliminate empty slots, cross-sell new high-margin procedures to the patients you already have, and get new providers fully booked in under 60 days.

    As a result of attending, participants will be able to…
    • Quantify the high cost of an empty chair — per slot, per provider, per year
    • Apply proven marketing frameworks to eliminate schedule gaps
    • Launch and cross-sell high-margin services to your existing patient base
    • Ramp new providers to full schedules in under 60 days

    Session #2: Building a Modern Care Team
    Access, margin, and clinician well-being aren't competing goals — they're the outputs of a well-designed care team. This session shows how to distribute work across physicians, APPs, and support clinicians so every team member practices at the top of their license, and how to size and structure that team for your actual patient population.

    As a result of attending, participants will be able to…
    • Design a team-based care model where license-appropriate work flows to the right team member
    • Quantify access and capacity using panel size, visit demand, and provider-mix modeling to set the right physician-to-APP ratio
    • Implement scheduling models, in-basket and documentation offloading, and role redesign that improve work-life balance without sacrificing access or margin
    • Align compensation and governance so team-based care is rewarded, APP roles are integrated rather than bolted on, and the model is sustainable

    Session #3: Financial Health Check: Understanding Metrics That Matter
    Before you can improve the numbers, you have to know which ones matter — and what they're telling you. This session builds a shared financial vocabulary for practice leaders: what each core metric measures, what "good" looks like for a surgical practice, and what to do when a number moves the wrong way. We'll cover operating margin, cost per encounter, provider productivity, days in A/R, net collection rate, and EBITDA and practice valuation.

    As a result of attending, participants will be able to…
    • Define and calculate the six financial metrics every practice leader should track
    • Benchmark practice performance against specialty norms and spot early warning signs in A/R and collections trends
    • Connect day-to-day operational decisions to operating margin
    • Explain how EBITDA drives practice valuation — and why it matters even if you never plan to sell

    Session #4: The People Equation: Hiring, Retention, and Incentives That Actually Work
    Every vacant desk and every mis-hire has a price tag — and most practices have never calculated it. This session puts real numbers on vacancy and turnover, then walks through structured, competency-based recruitment and retention tactics that go beyond compensation, and incentive structures that reward the right behaviors while staying inside the legal guardrails.

    As a result of attending, participants will be able to…
    • Calculate the true cost of a vacant or mis-hired position and apply structured, competency-based recruitment to clinical and non-clinical roles
    • Identify the primary drivers of staff turnover and implement targeted retention tactics — career laddering, stay interviews, and workload and management levers
    • Design compliant incentive structures for office staff, navigating FLSA mechanics for non-exempt employees and Stark/AKS guardrails on anything touching referrals or designated health services
    • Match organizational structure and key leadership roles to practice size and revenue — and recognize the inflection points that call for new management layers

    Session #5: The Evolved Leader: Navigating Difficult Conversations with Empathy and Effectiveness
    Coming straight out of lunch — and straight off the People Equation — this session takes up the human side of everything the morning put in place. Because every strategy on today’s agenda ultimately runs through one channel: how you communicate. We pair reflective leadership practice — building the self-awareness to see how you actually show up — with practical, step-by-step skills for the conversations leaders avoid: performance problems, conflict between team members, and delivering hard news to physicians and staff.

    As a result of attending, participants will be able to…
    • Apply reflective and reflexive practices that build leadership self-awareness
    • Structure and lead difficult conversations with staff, colleagues, and physicians
    • Use practical frameworks for feedback, conflict, and accountability discussions
    • Build day-to-day communication habits that earn trust across the practice

    Session #6: Executive Workshop: Creating Dashboards Leaders Actually Use
    Data isn't a strategy — a dashboard your leadership team actually opens is. In this hands-on workshop, we’ll roll up our sleeves and distill the data behind every session today — financial, operational, workforce, access, and compliance — into a one-page executive view that drives Monday-morning decisions rather than gathering dust on a shared drive.

    As a result of attending, participants will be able to…
    • Select the KPIs that belong on an executive dashboard — and recognize the ones that don't
    • Organize metrics across five domains: financial, operational, patient access, workforce, and compliance
    • Design dashboard views tuned to physician, administrator, and board audiences
    • Establish a review cadence and ownership model that turns dashboards into decisions

    Session #7: Tech That Delivers: Leveraging Technology to Increase Revenue 
    Technology should pay for itself. This session maps today's digital healthcare landscape and shows where the right tools genuinely enhance the patient experience, streamline clinical workflows, and add revenue — and how to measure the return before and after you buy, so vendor promises meet practice reality.

    As a result of attending, participants will be able to…
    • Navigate the digital healthcare landscape and evaluate vendor claims with confidence
    • Identify technologies that measurably enhance the patient experience from scheduling to follow-up
    • Streamline clinical workflows without adding clicks for clinicians
    • Build a simple ROI model for any technology purchase — and hold it accountable after go-live
