Practice Operations
We understand that daily practice operations is beyond office management, billing, coding or electronic health records management. It is the integration of all of these functional areas in addition to a deliberate operations planning process tailored to every medical practice. Without the deliberate planning process, performance issues will occur.
1
Technology Infrastructure
The medical practice as a system should have a well-defined technology infrastructure that supports it. Investing in high capital equipment and technological solutions such as electronic health records, digital solutions, imaging and surgical suites without significant cybersercurity protocols is like building a mansion on a swamp. More than ever the health of a medical practice depends on protecting patients, providers and stakeholders through adequate cyber security of all IT investments.
2
Financial Management
All medical groups desire healthy financial margins regardless of type of healthcare organization (for-profit, government, non-profit). While mandated financial reporting and audits indicate the viability of a healthcare organization, reviewing the drivers of productivity, revenue, expenses and setting financial targets ensures the organization's ability to provide quality healthcare services. Optimization of financial resources is just as important as providing highest quality in clinical services, "no margin, no mission" holds true in all settings of practice operations.
3
Support Services
Medical practices thrive with the best support teams and infrastructure, patients having the ability to access providers and get the care they need means practice growth and healthy reputation in the communities they serve. Hiring and retaining support staff that understand the importance of their roles in patient care services is essential lifeline to fulfilling the mission of every medical practice.
4
Performance Management
We believe that what is measured can be improved, the reverse is also true. We have hands on experience designing performance management goals for every function within the medical practice from administrative, clinical and support services everyone has a role to play to deliver quality patient care.
