An evolving U. S. physician shortage is leaving in its wake overworked and understaffed medical practices whose plight is the mission of a Louisiana-based firm. Extreme Success Coaching, www. extremesuccesscoaching. com, helps private-practice physicians nationwide to avert burnout, reduce tort liability risk, and increase profits and productivity.
A solid game plan forged by successful coaching is ESC's key to victory, according to Christie Scott, the company's founder and president.
"I'm the one doctors call when they are fed up with their stressful practices," Scott says. "I coach doctors who aspire to be the best in their respective markets. Doctors can benefit from coaching just as professional athletes do. Our business prescription not only can improve efficiency, profitability, productivity and overall job satisfaction; it can also make patients happier by reducing wait times and by otherwise enhancing patient satisfaction."
By helping medical practices not only to remain online but to reach and to stay at peak performance, ESC helps to stem the nation's physician shortage, which represents the confluence of patient demand, inadequate insurance reimbursement rates, soaring liability costs, younger physicians' preference for posts that allow decent working hours, and burgeoning percentages of uninsured patients forcing physicians out of some regions and into more profitable ones -- leaving behind a few overworked practices to serve a brimming well of patients.
Retirement is also a factor. Although, according to the American Medical Association, there are more than 200 active physicians for every 100,000 U. S. civilians, Global Action on Aging reports that the physician retirement rate is expected to climb from 9,000 a year in 2000 to 22,000 a year in 2020.
More than a quick fix, ESC aspires to be a solution to a national problem.
"Under my game plan," Coach Scott says, "everybody wins: The practice, the patients, and a nation that demands, deserves, and should come to expect quality health care for its citizens."
