AAOE Offers Opportunities to Improve Your Practice

Addy Kujawa, CAE

While you’re taking advantage of the many educational opportunities at the AAOS Annual Meeting, why not look into the opportunities available to you and your staff through membership in the American Association of Orthopaedic Executives (AAOE)?

In these tough economic times, it’s more important than ever that your practice operates cost-efficiently and maximizes revenue from all available sources. Whether your practice administrator is a seasoned veteran or just starting out, the educational, networking, and hands-on opportunities available at the AAOE annual conference will help him or her help you achieve that goal.

In 2013, the AAOE annual conference will take place April 28–30, at the Hilton San Diego Bayfront in San Diego, Calif. Like the AAOS Annual Meeting, it features a range of educational offerings, the opportunity to network, and a vendor hall filled with products and services to improve your practice’s bottom line.

For example, practice executives from groups of similar sizes can connect on relevant topics to compare approaches. The almost 60 educational courses being offered focus on topics that will impact your bottom line—from regulatory developments to electronic medical records. You’ll come away with tips to increase revenue, leverage the talents of your staff, and improve patient satisfaction.

Save time and money
Because practice executives are often involved in purchasing decisions, the AAOE annual conference offers opportunities to comparison shop and get immediate feedback from others who have used the systems or products you are considering.

Membership in the AAOE is a bargain—just $325 per person, regardless of practice size. Membership isn’t limited to practice executives; orthopaedic surgeons—particularly those in small practices or solo practitioners who manage their own practices—will also benefit from AAOE membership. Even billing and coding staff are welcome.
