Medical group leaders are under constant pressure to improve 金融 performance, enhance the working environment for providers and 工作人员, and enable the delivery of high-quality patient care. Medical groups that struggle to do so are susceptible to losing market share to higher-performing competitors.
Savvy medical group administrators understand the 金融 performance of their organization and how their group compares to similar organizations. But this knowledge comes through routine evaluations. Just as we want patients to undergo a periodic physical to assess their health status, 医疗团体也应该如此. Operational leaders without this diagnostic information are unable to manage their medical group effectively and generate the cash flow needed to fund strategic initiatives.
快速绩效评估
心电图’s 快速绩效评估 is designed to quickly and objectively identify high-impact areas of 金融 improvement opportunity, using industry-proven and proprietary qualitative and quantitative analyses to swiftly understand:
- Baseline medical group key performance indicators.
- 操作的挑战.
- 竞争格局.
Our analyses reveal targeted and measurable opportunities that can improve revenue capture and growth, streamline overhead and operating expenses, and optimize operational processes and workflows. The assessment is typically completed within 30 to 45 days.
它是如何工作的
Our approach is similar to a physical examination.
诊断
At the outset of the engagement, 心电图 will submit a detailed data request that includes all relevant organizational, 金融, and operational data needed to conduct all in-scope performance evaluation analyses.
Medical History and Chief Complaint
Parallel to the data request submission, 心电图 will schedule interviews with key medical, 执行, 金融, and operational leadership to better understand organizational characteristics, 竞争激烈的环境中, and any operational challenges.
体格检查
除了, the project team will conduct on-site visits at key clinical and support services locations to evaluate core operational processes and observe 工作人员 performance.
系统评估
使用收集到的数据, 心电图 will conduct a comprehensive evaluation of the medical group’s 金融 and operational performance in comparison to relevant industry target performance levels across the following areas:
- 财务业绩
- 组织设计
- 提供者的生产力
- 供应商赔偿
- 病人的访问
- 临床操作
- 收入周期管理
- 管理式医疗承包
诊疗方案
At the end of the evaluation period, a comprehensive practice assessment report will be provided that clearly outlines current medical group performance and identifies specific quick wins and long-term strategic tactics that support incremental value generation. The analytics and operational insights equip medical group 执行s with industry-leading business intelligence that supports informed strategic, 金融, and operational decision-making.
高影响力的结果
For the majority of our rapid assessment clients, we are able to identify revenue improvement and/or cost reduction strategies and tactics that do not require incremental capital or operational investments. 例子包括:
- Billing workflow redesign to improve collection efficiency.
- Provider schedule template optimization to increase patient throughput.
- Exam room utilization improvement strategies to decrease overhead costs.
- Improved expense management governance.
全面的方法
Attempting to implement a game plan for improvement without identifying the interconnected components of both 金融 and operational opportunities can frustrate providers, 工作人员, and patients with temporary process improvements and short-term solutions that garner undesirable results. Understanding the interrelated systems and how improving one aspect of a medical group’s performance might disrupt another will produce the best strategic approach for performance transformation.
In our assessments of medical groups, we often find that revenue and costs aren’t affected just by one issue, but several interrelated issues.Just as patients with multiple comorbidities must have carefully orchestrated treatment plans, so must medical groups’ improvement plans employ a comprehensive approach.
The ambulatory care setting continues to undergo incredible change, with more care rendered in the outpatient environment than in the acute care setting. A clear understanding of where 金融 and operational opportunities exist within a medical group provides the best path for an improvement plan for sustainable success.
