There is a different style of practice that has developed called a "micro-practice" or "ideal medical practice." This model of care is based upon low overhead through an efficient practice design and use of technology. Because of low overhead, there are fewer patients seen per day, more time to spend with each one, and greater continuity of care. As Dr. L. Gordon Moore, the leader of the ideal medical practice movement, puts it,When you redesign a practice around these principles, you can step off the productivity treadmill and focus on excellent patient care.That's what my practice is about, because above all else there is no substitute for time spent with patients.
