The template has been used to successfully hire thousands of top performing candidates and includes job posting templates for Medical Assistant, Medical Receptionist and Practice Manager, but can easily be modified for other positions.
Employee Handbook – An employee handbook tailored to physician practices is a vital tool that provides clear guidelines and expectations for staff, ensuring consistency in workplace policies and procedures. It helps maintain regulatory compliance, promotes a safe and efficient working environment, and fosters employee understanding of their roles and responsibilities.
Offer letter template – Since most employees will be hired “at-will,” an offer letter is where you can spell out the terms and conditions of their employment: schedule, supervisor, benefits, etc. This template can be modified for a range of positions and customized with the details of your practice’s benefits package.
HIPAA manual template – A HIPAA compliance manual is crucial for a medical practice as it serves as a comprehensive guide to ensure the protection of patients' sensitive health information. It outlines the necessary policies and procedures to safeguard patient data, helping the practice avoid legal and financial penalties for non-compliance. This manual also educates staff on their roles and responsibilities in maintaining privacy and security, promoting a culture of compliance within the practice.
