ABSTRACT
This article offers professional opinions and advice on how physicians should prepare in order to protect themselves and their practices during this turbulent time in healthcare reform. This article presents real-life scenarios to help physicians understand what they may face and what actions they should take in anticipation of the future in healthcare. The article focuses on the concept of "the right patient," defining the characteristics of patients that benefit the financial aspect of a practice and those who do not. Its purpose is not to encourage physicians to deny care to patients who are poorly insured or uninsured, but to guide in the establishment of a smart and safe balance between the two. Strategies are discussed on how to attract the right patient and what these patients mean to the practice. The importance of practice marketing is also highlighted, along with an emphasis on the necessity of change in order to survive in the future healthcare environment.
