In a solo practice, the owner's income sits in the profit, not in the costs. What remains at the end depends on a few figures: the fee per case, the share of private patients, staff costs and the question of when the advance payments and the final settlement from the statutory health insurance association (KV) actually arrive. Each of these moves during the year – and usually only becomes visible in the management report, weeks after quarter end.
There is no controlling team, and the practice management system (PVS) shows services but no costs and no bank transactions. For a solo practice, practice controlling therefore does not mean more analysis but the right one: a few key figures, automatically from PVS and bank account, with a comparison that draws on practices of similar specialty and size – not medical care centers or practice chains.
That is exactly what MediPulse does: connected to your existing PVS in about ten minutes, without IT of your own, with data stored encrypted in German data centers. More than 300 practices work with it.
