Academy Advantage Partner: ENT-Cloud offers unique benefits and savings

ENT-Cloud, an Academy Advantage Partner, has associated with the AAO-HNS to provide Members an integrated EHR and practice management platform with unique benefits and savings. Lawrence Gordon, MD, and KJ Lee, MD, both noted and accomplished otolaryngologists, technologists, and visionaries, founded ENT-Cloud. ENT-Cloud answers the need of otolaryngologists asking for specific content and functionality. The software platform is backed up by otolaryngology-specific practice management experts and back-office personnel available to serve in a “virtual back office” role for the ENT office. ENT-Cloud software is not just “designed by ENTs for ENTs.” It includes a complete enterprise level practice management platform built on the latest technologies and flexibly designed to help otolaryngologists meet the demands of running a modern day practice while adapting to continued change. ENT-Cloud clients have access to teams of clinical and business consultants dedicated to helping otolaryngologists and their practice managers realize and achieve their critical needs and objectives. ENT-Cloud experts look at essential elements of the practice such as billing, marketing, clinical, and administrative functions in an effort to improve overall efficiency and profitability. Since it is the lifeblood of a practice, our billing services professionals provide oversight, monthly reporting, current relevant coding, and claims management expertise. It is their job to make sure you get paid correctly the first time, every time. If billing is the lifeblood, marketing is the nutrient that feeds the practice. Without a steady well-balanced diet, a practice will never grow properly or ever reach its full potential. With a focus on your practice goals and online reputation, our professionally managed marketing services will ensure your ENT practice has a professional website, strong online presence, and positive reputation in your surrounding community. ENT-Cloud’s clinical compliance and Meaningful Use service teams monitor your practice’s compliance in relation to the criteria set by CMS through professional clinical oversight and regular reporting. Our teams are focused on achieving the maximum stimulus payment and avoiding fees related to non-compliance. More than just an EHR provider, ENT-Cloud is an organization comprised of ENT practice consultants who are industry leaders in medical, regulatory, financial, and practice management. Let us help take your practice to the next level. Phone: 1-866.495.4002 Email: LearnMore@ENT-Cloud.com Web: ENT-Cloud.com

Dr. Koch has a long-standing relationship wth Mbingo Baptist Hospital (MBH) and travels there a number of times a year.

Development of a professional code of conduct in an academic otolaryngology departmentExpanded from the print edition
Otolaryngology departments are increasingly becoming aware of the critical importance of professionalism in the academic medical setting.1 Growing evidence is showing that lack of civility in the workplace harms patient safety, employee satisfaction, and the broader institutional mission. Literature from other medical departments and from fields outside medicine suggests that a formalized written code of conduct is an effective method of clearly codifying the culture for all members of the organization, and of improving professional behavior.2

There is an ‘I’ in team
At the heart of the word committee, both literally and figuratively, is the word commit. As former basketball coach Pat Riley said, “There are only two options regarding commitment. You’re either in or you’re out. There is no such thing as life in-between.” Ditto for a successful committee.

Gaining public trust
Imagine that you are dependent on a system that you have been familiar with most of your life to provide preventative and life-saving care for you and your family. That system is now undergoing monumental, fast-moving changes that not even the architects or participants of the successor structure can define or explain to those who will be using it or making it work. Will you still have insurance coverage for you and your family? Will you be able to pay for the coverage and the dramatic increase in out-of-pocket costs you will be expected to pay? Well, this scenario does not require any imagination. This is what American patients are facing and will continue to face over the next three to five years.

Those who can do more, volunteer
Most of us are used to a very specific type of work. Whether we are working in a clinic, a hospital, or an operating room, we are used to applying certain otolaryngologic skills every day. We learned those skills in medical school and in training, and keep them fresh with CME activities. We advance our careers because we become great at these skills. As a group, we are self-motivated and highly capable learners. Otolaryngology residency applicant personality types1 show us to be primarily extroverted, thinking, and judging. We become, and stay, busy in our practices and in our families.
