working in health it, i assumed most credentialing processes would already be digitized by now. but healthcare credentialing is still surprisingly fragmented. different systems, different formats, and a lot of manual follow-ups between hr, compliance, and medical boards.
we recently onboarded a group of providers and the delays came mostly from verifying the same information across multiple systems.
I’ve been running my own FBA store for a couple of years and recently started thinking about outsourcing PPC. The problem is that almost every agency says the same things on sales calls, so it’s hard to tell what actually matters and what’s just positioning. I’ve been trying to figure out what separates a genuinely useful PPC partner from one that just sends polished reports. Things like transparency around spend, how they explain wasted ad spend, whether they understand your category, and how they talk about ACOS vs TACOS seem more important than flashy case studies. For anyone who’s gone through this process before, what questions helped you tell pretty quickly whether an agency actually knew what they were doing?
It is review season and I am already chasing managers. We use Lattice but completion is at 40 percent. The issue is not the software. Managers say they forget, lose the drafts, or get stuck writing feedback.
I need automation that drips the process. Send a reminder with the last review and 3 bullet prompts, nudge if no draft after 3 days, summarize peer feedback, and draft a starting point they can edit. If we do not make it stupid simple, it will not happen. HR cannot keep being the bad guy every quarter. What has actually increased completion rates for you?
I got curious about this after a plumber I hired recently mentioned they usually call 811 before trenching, and that wording kind of stuck with me. I work adjacent to construction projects, so I've seen how messy things can get when tickets expire, markings are unclear, or work starts before everything is fully cleared. Because of that, I always assumed the process would be super strict across trades like plumbing, especially for underground work. But talking to different crews over the years, it seems like the approach varies a lot depending on the company and the size of the job. Some seem very process-oriented while others handle it more casually unless the trenching is extensive. For the plumbing contractors here, how is it actually handled where you work? Is 811 treated as a routine step every time, or more of a judgment call depending on the project?
Our content team gets a campaign brief and has to turn it into: blog, LinkedIn posts, X thread, email, meta ads, landing page copy. Takes 2 weeks. We tried Jasper + Copy.ai but outputs are generic and we spend hours de-AI-ing them.
I want to ingest brief + tone docs + past top performers → generate all assets in our voice → route to writers for 20% editing, not 80% rewriting. Need version control and approval steps too.
Has anyone built a real content supply chain with AI that doesn’t sound like chatgpt default? We’re not trying to replace writers, just kill the blank page.
Question for clinicians who also teach/supervise: how are you addressing the business side? Medical billing for private practices isn’t covered in most PhD/PsyD programs, yet grads launch practices and drown in admin.
We’re not trained as MBAs, but ignoring RCM isn’t viable anymore. Do any programs actually teach CPT, modifiers, and denial management? Or should we just tell new clinicians to outsource day one? I’m seeing brilliant clinicians close practices because billing destroyed them financially.
The ethics of abandoning clients due to bad billing is real. Curious how others balance training clinical skills vs. practice management reality.
