CROSSVILLE, Tenn., August 17,
2009 – Oncology Partners,
a business consulting and medical billing firm serving
oncology practices throughout the U.S., announced the
publication of an article written by co-founder and CEO,
Dr. Dirk Davidson, M.D., in an international oncology
journal.
Davidson’s article, “Four Steps to Improve the Profitability
of Your Oncology Practice,” appeared in the August 2009
edition of Oncology News International, a CMPMedica
Publication. In this piece, Davidson provides oncology
firms with advice on running a successful practice through
efficient management and reallocation of overhead tasks,
such as keeping accurate inventories of medicine,
preventing billing errors and understanding office
policies.
“Speaking from experience, it is challenging to be both a
doctor and a CEO,” Davidson said. “Because patients are
always the top priority, it can be difficult to stay on top
of office work and administrative tasks. However, once a
firm knows how to properly manage everything
‘behind-the-scenes’ the practice can be much more lucrative
and have more time to care for its patients.”
Davidson added, “I am honored to have my work published in
Oncology News International. I think the article will
not only benefit oncology practices, but anyone who runs a
business.”
Davidson has been in the oncology field for about 20 years. In
2004, he started his own practice, Tennessee Plateau
Oncology in Crossville, Tenn., and co-founded Oncology
Partners with consultant Kevin Combs.
