A new reSOURCE on your side

By Jackie Ryan, MPA

AAOS introduces Practice Management reSOURCE Directory

Whether you’re thinking about expanding your practice, looking for human resources support, or seeking legal assistance, the AAOS is making it easy for you to find business vendors and consultants you can trust—companies and individuals who specialize in working with practices like yours.

The new Practice Management reSOURCE Directory helps you find quality companies that specialize in practice management solutions and services. This new online service enables you to quickly search based on criteria important to you and your specific practice needs and identify a reliable “short list” of companies to consider—and all come recommended by your colleagues.

Trustworthy and convenient

When you want a track record of consistency, check the reSOURCE Directory. Each company is recommended by at least three orthopaedic practices that are highly satisfied with their products and services. Complete contact information is provided, so you save time and avoid frustration from unproductive Internet searches or cold-calling.

The reSOURCE Directory is an integrated resource that presents information critical for managing a busy practice in a handy, concise, and user-friendly format.

Your idea...your feedback

The reSOURCE Directory is available online at www.aaos.org/pmrd . Just click on the reSOURCE Directory link (member log in required). You can search by area of expertise, location, or contact name.

The idea for the reSOURCE Directory came from AAOS members. So please send us your ideas on how we can make this member benefit more useful to you and your practice. E-mail your comments and suggestions to pmrd@aaos.org

During the Annual Meeting, stop by the Practice Management Booth in Academy Row to see a live demonstration of the Practice Management reSOURCE Directory. Staff will be on hand to guide you through the process and get your feedback.

Jackie Ryan is a practice management program coordinator in the AAOS practice management group and can be reached at ryan@aaos.org or (847) 384-4334.
