Why I joined IPN

Dr. Bratanow joined IPN because it is a voice and advocate for independent physicians. IPN allows independent physicians to retain their autonomy and acts as their collective voice in the large, competitive healthcare environment. As an organization, IPN helps independent physicians customize the care of individual patients utilizing their unique skills. For Dr. Bratanow, IPN serves to promote the essence Personalized Medical Care.

Due to the highly-trained and knowledgeable staff, IPN is an excellent resource for independent physicians. Member physicians can stay updated and aware of the latest regulatory changes, and because IPN raises the member physicians’ ability to adapt to said changes quickly, they can continue successfully providing excellent care for their patients.

Going forward, Dr. Bratanow will work with IPN to continue informing independent physicians of changes and allowing them to work for their patients in flexible and creative ways. Because of the quickness changes may be implemented, no matter what the size of their practices, independent physicians can customize the time spent with patients and optimize the care they give.
