PRACTICE ASSESSMENTS, BOTH TARGETED AND COMPREHENSIVE (including implementation plans/assistance)

  • When is it the right time to bring in an additional provider to balance patient volume?
  • Do I have the right number of staff?
  • Do I have the right staff member doing the right job?
  • Am I compensating my staff fairly?
  • Do I provide competitive benefits?

TARGETED

Staffing, patient volume and cash flow are challenges most practices face at one time or another. Often a targeted practice assessment can provide simple, easy suggestions to make your practice run smoother, your staff more satisfied, and streamline your operations which can increase your bottom line. We redesign job descriptions to ensure your staff works more efficiently and effectively. Streamlining your medical practice often reduces staff frustration. Reviewing your current scheduling template often opens the door for more efficient patient care and alleviate scheduling stress.

At times cash flow can become a real concern. Experienced targeted research can determine if there are revenue management issues or overhead that can be reduced. We work with you and your staff to increase your revenue and/or decrease your expenses. Our goal is to help your practice succeed and reduce this stressful area of managing a medical practice.

COMPREHENSIVE

As a team, in a comprehensive assessment, we look at all aspects of your practice with a fresh set of eyes. Recommendations can include making your waiting room more pleasant, staff assessment from check in to check out, assessment of compliance and reporting and staff work flow. We will review your practice to ensure your equipment placement is efficient, there are the necessary policy and procedures in place, your employee manual is up-to-date, your employee files are up-to-date and review your staff, management and provider meetings to ensure they are sufficient for your practice. We can review your strategic plan for your practice, marketing options and PR opportunities available to you and assist with patient education opportunities. We also review your safeguards for internal control, determine if you have the correct insurances in place, and provide employee contract review.

Staff satisfaction

Always, our goal is to help your practice succeed. We offer benchmarks to help you reach your practice’s goals. By streamlining your operations and ensuring your staff is as effective and efficient as possible, we can put your practice on the path to additional success.

ASSISTANCE WITH PRACTICE MERGERS or PRACTICE SALES

As the health care industry continues to evolve, we can assist with mergers or practice sales. We can help you determine what your practice is worth, whether a sale makes sense, is a fair offer and the benefits and/or disadvantages of a practice merger. Reviewing the comprehensive picture can help you determine your best options for becoming employed or continuing to be self-employed.
