The Watch Brief

Nobody can read everything, and most of what crosses your screen was never about your practice anyway. This tool doesn’t pretend to read the news for you — it builds your personal monitoring system: which public channels your specific practice should watch (your state board’s rulemaking, your payers’ provider bulletins, CMS, your vendors’ changelogs), why each one matters to you, a 30-minute monthly routine, and the exact questions to bring to your CPA, attorney, or consultant when something actually moves. Twelve answers, about three minutes, printable without an email.

Your practice

Four answers set the spine of the brief: who reads it, which state’s rules apply, and what season the practice is in.

Your role
The same channel means different things to a solo owner and a DSO executive — this branches the copy, not just the list.
Where the practice is in its life
An owner three years from transition and one building a second location should watch consolidation news for opposite reasons.
Hiring, right now
Sets how hard the workforce channels — wage rules, licensure, scope — pull on your attention.
