Editorial Board Says Magazine is On Target
After close review of two
recent issues of Humana’s YourPractice, members of
the newly created editorial board who are health care providers
in various cities, found the magazine to be useful and informative
to practices within the Humana network.
Among the comments from the four board members were “topics
are timely and relevant to many people within a practice,”
“routing slip on cover is helpful for staff,” “localizing
the center spread of the magazine is useful to the various Humana
markets” and “the boxes in stories with article highlights
and Web addresses are informative.”
Some topics suggested by the board that will be considered for future
issues of the magazine included HIPAA, patient flow, malpractice
legislation, malpractice insurance, practice success stories and
managing overhead costs.
Our current editorial board members are, Pinkal Patel, M.D., in
Oviedo, Fla.; Gary Sturn, M.D., in Altamonte Springs, Fla; Suzanne
MacEwan, a practice administrator in Jacksonville, Fla.; and Cathy
Wershay, a contract coordinator in Milwaukee.
With continued feedback from board members, Humana will strive to
provide information that will make it easier for practices to conduct
business with the company and direct them to the many tools and
resources for physicians and office staff offered on Humana’s
Web site at www.humana.com.
Editorial board meetings will be held via conference call once per
quarter for about one hour. There are still a couple of board seats
available. If you would like to recommend someone to represent your
market or volunteer, please contact Stilla McMahon, director of
provider communications, at (502) 580-1865 or e-mail her at
smcmahon@humana.com.
