Physician Communication

Overview

As HMA continues to expand it's markets and service offerings, the need to effectively communicate with our staffed and employed physicians becomes more critical than ever. In order to strategically manage that communication process, HMA is developing a state-of-the-art physician communication portal that each our physicians are able to log on to and have access to each of the planned features outlined below. This new communication portal is scheduled for launch during the first quarter of 2008.

Practice Management Tips

HMA employs some of the foremost professionals in the field of Physician Practice Management and engages some of the most renowned consultants to supply up-to-date tips on practice management via Physician Security Plus. The areas of Accounts Receivable Management, EMR selection and transition, coding, contracting, malpractice insurance/risk management, compliance, federal quality initiatives and much more are addressed in regularly updated tips posted on this site.

Physician Directory

Physician Security Plus affords physician members access to a complete list of all medical staff members by specialty, name and location.  HMA is very proud of the medical communities that have been developed in the communities that we live and work in.

Patient Referral

Physician Security Plus affords physician members the ability to inter-refer patients to other HMA facilities that may offer services and physician staff specialties not available in the local community.  Patients often find themselves in or near HMA facilities other than their home facility and thus local attending physicians can assist in qualifying physicians in those markets to their patients as they travel the country.

Physician Forum

Physician Security Plus affords physician members the ability to find, identify and contact physicians that they may know or wish to contact.  A directory available only among the physicians to provide contact with one another is provided and available to facilitate this communication.  HMA desires for physicians on the medical staffs of each and all of its hospitals to have the best possible communication channels in order to better the quality of medical care through collaboration.
