John Jurica2021-03-20T21:14:54-05:00

Welcome back to this week's episode of the PNC Podcast. Taking a really big chance today talking about this subject (10 Practices of the Meeting Maestro). It's rather dull, not very inspirational. But communication is really an important factor, whether you're doing a nonclinical or a clinical job.

Create a Wildly Effective Annual Management Plan

John Jurica2017-05-10T04:56:09-05:00

My practice partner and I had been working together for about a year in our small family practice. A medical equipment salesperson approached us promoting a new device that would surely bring in additional practice revenue. After considering the purchase, we decided to proceed. We signed a loan agreement and purchased the device. It would take 5 years to pay back the loan. We were convinced the device would generate procedures that would easily cover the loan payments. Eighteen months [...]

Preparing to Be a Better Physician Leader – Part 2

John Jurica2017-03-31T13:46:59-05:00

I started this series by discussing the attitudes or perspectives that physician leaders should understand and adopt.

If you are early in the journey, you can try to observe these skills in others as you're preparing to be a better physician leader. This is a process. Like any new realm of learning, we follow a path from awareness, to [...]

Pat opened the door to her office and motioned for Julie to come in and sit down.

Why the Hospital Pharmacy Director Should Report to the Senior Physician Executive

John Jurica2017-02-06T13:21:12-06:00

Each hospital CEO must determine which departments should logically report to each senior executive. Historically, the vice president for medical affairs or chief medical officer was hired to address the medical staff and its governance, continuing medical education and quality improvement. But there is another department head that should report to the senior physician executive of a hospital: the hospital pharmacy director. Pharmacy Medication administration is one of the most important functions of a hospital. Safe, effective and [...]

4 Crucial Steps to Take Before Choosing a Management Career

John Jurica2017-01-08T16:25:40-06:00

I was about 5 years into my medical career. It was a busy and exciting time. I finally felt confident in my clinical skills and I was ready to immerse myself in a new subject matter.

I realized that I needed to learn [...]
