The Center for Better Health and Nutrition (CBHN) is a comprehensive obesity treatment, manage- ment, and prevention arm of the Heart Institute within Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center, offering necessary medical treatment to an often un- derserved population. With volumes increasing at substantial levels and services being reimbursed at low rates, the financial health of the program has been closely analyzed in order to determine the long-term sustainability of CBHN. Downstream revenue was analyzed and found to account for over $754,000 in fiscal year (FY) 2015; quality improvement efforts such as E/M coding and imple- menting the Nurse Practitioner role also added to increased revenue and a lower cost profile. Capturing all billable services, such as biometric measurement, was found to be valuable to the program's bottom line. By considering all applicable revenue sources, implementing quality improvement efforts, and billing for all relevant services, the program operates at a low level of profitability.</p>","PeriodicalId":80215,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of medical practice management : MPM","volume":"32 1","pages":"39-44"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"36744909","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The research demonstrates that the lowering of insulin levels dramatically improves diabetes'-5 and the factors associated with metabolic syndrome,6-8 including cen- tral obesity, high blood pressure, and elevated blood lipids, which, of course, are risk factors associated with cardiovascular disease. Other conditions that have shown improvement under the influence of reduced insulin levels include fatty liver disease,9 polycystic ovary syndrome,10 gastroesophageal reflux disease,\"12 irritable bowel syndrome with diarrhea,13 and other maladies. Significantly, dietary carbohydrate restriction induces ketosis, a state in which the body is forced to burn fat instead of sugar as its primary source of fuel.

That is why the medical practice manager needs to develop skills in conflict pre- vention, conflict management, and conflict resolution. This article explores the negative and positive fallout when medical practice staff members are in conflict with one another. It defines conflict management and conflict resolution and suggests situations when each strategy is best. It offers medical practice man- agers 10 strategies they can use to prevent staff conflicts. It also offers 25 tips for managing and resolving conflicts and a strategy medical practice managers can use if they are personally conflict averse or resistant. It suggests six common sources of workplace conflict and six possible outcomes for employees who are in conflict.
