Welcome solo and group practice owners! We are Liath Dalton and Evan Dumas, your co-hosts of Group Practice Tech.

In our latest episode, we take a shame-free look at policies and procedures and why they’re beneficial to have in place. 

We discuss using in practice behavior to inform policies & procedures; risk analysis; the benefits of having everything written down; how to decide where to start; reducing cognitive overhead and burnout; being prepared for security incidents; HIPAA compliance as a set of behaviors, not a product or a checklist; and the resources PCT offers around policies & procedures.
