MEDICAL PRACTICE
OPERATIONS EVALUATION
AND PERFORMANCE
IMPROVEMENT
The goals of an
operations evaluation and performance improvement engagement are to
identify the barriers to optimal performance within a medical practice
(including MSOs and physician networks), determine achievable and
sustainable best practices in key operating areas, and provide a
cost-benefit analysis and work plan for implementing changes.
Partners offers a
variety of approaches to medical practice operations performance
improvement. Although our services are tailor-made to the client's
situation, our efforts focus on turning clinical effort into optimal
cash flow. Through an analysis of operations, a comparison of practice
data to performance standards, and interviews with physicians and key
staff members, we provide our clients an achievable performance
improvement work plan that identifies:
-
Key functional
areas to be impacted
-
Processes
requiring change
-
Critical success
factors
-
Key persons
responsible for implementation
-
Capital and/or
financing requirements and sources
-
Pro forma
financial projections
-
Infrastructure
requirements
-
Facilities and
equipment requirements
-
Timeline for
implementation
Our consulting
staff is also available to provide implementation assistance, should it
be requested. Our approach is efficient, concise, and practical. We
are interested in solutions that can be implemented, rather than lofty
recommendations than inevitably end up on the client's bookshelf.
