The COVID-19 pandemic caused many patients to lose trust in the health care system.

Physicians Practice® spoke with Fernando Mendoza, MD, FAAP, FACEP, the founder and CEO of Scrivas, LLC, about the rising rates of reported burnout among physicians and how medical scribes might be able to alleviate some pressures from physicians.

Physicians Practice® spoke with Kristina Hutson, a product line developer at Availity, about surprise billing events in independent healthcare practices and what owners and administrators can do to reduce the likelihood of their occurrence.

Providing patients a positive experience, especially toward the end of the doctor-patient encounter, can pay dividends.

Patient engagement should go beyond just administrative work and scheduling appointments.
