Simplify your practice on the cheap

Hey there folks, my name is Keith Reynolds, I’m the editor of Physicians Practice and this is the P2 Management Minute. Here are two low-cost ways to simplify your practice fast.

1) Automate what you can and ditch what you don’t

Start with tools you already own. Turn on automated appointment reminders, eligibility checks, digital intake, and billing follow-ups inside your EHR or practice-management system. Then prune: list every app, note overlaps, and retire anything redundant or not integrated. Recheck workflows every 6–12 months so manual tasks don’t sneak back in.

2) Prioritize tools that actually save time

When evaluating software, ignore flashy extras and ask: ‘Does this cut clicks and minutes?’ Favor intuitive scheduling, fast-loading charts, and simple billing flows. If a platform takes longer than your old process, reassess or replace it. Value equals ease of use, quick setup, minimal training—period.

Automate smart, simplify hard—that’s your budget-friendly reset. For more bite-size practice tips and tricks make sure you visit PhysiciansPractice.com.

Thanks for watching I’ll see you tomorrow on the P2 Management Minute!
