Physicians Practice and Kareo Launch Practice360 to Support the Success of Independent Medical Practices

NORWALK, Conn., Sept. 24, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- UBM Medica's Physicians Practice, in partnership with Kareo, has launched Practice360 – an online informational resource and community for small and independent medical practices.

"Small practices have unique challenges," said Tom Giannulli, MD, Chief Medical Information Officer at Kareo. "They face the same government mandates as everyone else, but with smaller infrastructure, limited resources, and in many cases a vastly increased patient load. By teaming up with Physicians Practice – a leader in the practice management space – we're helping physicians and small practices maintain their independence, and reminding them that they're not alone."

Practice360's articles, blogs, videos, infographics, and presentations provide tips, strategies, and peer advice on:

• ICD-10, HIPAA, PQRS, MU and MIPS
• Revenue cycle management
• Maintaining quality of care

Contributors include opinion leaders on technology, practice management and healthcare regulation.

"Thanks to an abundance of regulatory measures, increasing third-party interference, and the rising cost of technology, it's fair to say that today's small practice providers feel isolated, frustrated, and helpless," said Physicians Practice Managing Editor, Gabriel Perna. "Practice360, from Physicians Practice and Kareo, is here to serve as a go-to resource for practice managers and physicians who feel they are out of answers."
