Practical guides · free · ungated

Written to be used, not downloaded.

Each guide takes one job a practice actually faces and works it through, with the primary sources cited on the page where they are used. No form between you and the document.

If a guide helps, the related study asks what the public records cannot tell us. Participation is optional.

The six Center guides together on a desk: the Credentialing Cheat-Sheet, the BHCM Pivot Playbook, the CoCM Startup Brief, the Career Path Guide, the Supervisor Eligibility Checker, and the Medicare Enrollment Cheat-Sheet.

The publication standard

Every guide is developed from primary sources, relevant payer and agency materials, and the Observatory’s records. Each carries the date its sources were last checked. Found something stale? Tell us. We will correct the record and date the correction.

Each guide answers one bounded question completely. Larger implementation kits and individualized practice support solve a different problem and are available separately.

Primary sources. Plain language. Publicly available.
