Moreover, it is highly likely this situation will only    intensify. While some of these physicians have opted to become    employees of healthcare systems, others prefer having their own    practices. For this second group, establishing or joining a    concierge medical practice can possibly be their solution. It    is also a way to potentially result in physicians significantly    benefitting financially by enabling them to become     millionaires and sometimes millionaires many times over.  <\/p>\n<p>    In evaluating various concierge healthcare models, there are a    number of key success factors that prove essential to not only    having a thriving practice but also to becoming personally    wealthy. Lets briefly consider four of them.  <\/p>\n<p>    A client-centered mind set. For most    physicians, this is either how they already think and respond    to their patients or is a small step away for where they have    to be. Its about having a service model that recognizes their    patients have a wide array of healthcare choices and,    therefore, necessitates employing strategies that build strong    professional relationships. Included here is being highly    proactive and attentive to the individual psychologies of their    patients with respect to their health and their expectations    concerning healthcare providers.  <\/p>\n<p>    Efficient operations. As with any    successful business, the systems and processes that make it run    smoothly and efficaciously are important. By putting in such    methodologies, the concierge medical practice is able to    deliver extremely high-quality care and do so cost-effectively.    The result is a larger bottom line.  <\/p>\n<p>    Appropriate financing. The structure    of the concierge medical practice will determine the level of    financing required. It is not uncommon for some physicians to    not have enough financing or access to financing while trying    to do an exceptional job for their patients and run or oversee    a practice. This scenario will likely drive the concierge    medical practice into a death    spiral.  <\/p>\n<p>    Targeted business development.    Patients for concierge medical practices are a subset of all    patients. They are concerned about their health and the health    of their loved ones, and  critically  they have the economic    resources to afford this service. Depending on the structure of    the concierge medical practice determines the business    development approaches needed to ensure a vibrant clientele.    This factor tends to be the most difficult for many physicians    as its something they are not accustomed to and is often    outside their comfort zone.  <\/p>\n<p>    When physicians are highly motivated and are able to capably    operate or be a part of a well-run concierge medical practice,    they can prospectively become wealthy. While becoming wealthy    is rarely the core motivator of most physicians, it certainly    can be a nice by-product.  <\/p>\n<p><!-- Auto Generated --><\/p>\n<p>Follow this link:<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/russalanprince\/2015\/01\/20\/how-physicians-become-millionaires-by-practicing-concierge-medicine\" title=\"How Physicians Become Millionaires By Practicing Concierge Medicine\">How Physicians Become Millionaires By Practicing Concierge Medicine<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> In todays healthcare environment, many physicians who want greater control over their practices and the ability to seriously benefit financially from their expertise are embracing concierge medicine.
