The costs in medical practices are high because of the need for personal contact with patients. It is important, therefore, to minimise other costs by the use of good systems. One such system is the Health Record, which is essential in every practice, and if it is the appropriate system it can significantly reduce ongoing costs. Similarly, good financial and accounting systems and efficient appointment systems can also reduce practice costs.
