Michael A. Wood, M.D.

While no one knows exactly what the final health-care reform package will look like, one thing is for sure: your practice is going to change. To help you prepare for the future, MVP introduces the Consultant's Corner. In each edition of your Medical Video Journal, health care consultant Michael A. Wood, president of Saint Louis Management Group, addresses health-care reform issues that will affect you and your practice.

As managed care unfolds, HMOs, PPOs, self-insured employers, health and welfare trusts, and labor unions will become the organizations with which you and your colleagues will contract and negotiate. Operating from a "lean and mean" perspective, managed care demands quality and cost efficiency. Wood offers suggestions on documenting your practice and marketing yourself to the payers of the future.
