Optimizing physician enterprise performance
Maximize the investment in the physician enterprise by undertaking focused improvement efforts that target the professional fee revenue cycle, information technology utilization, physician compensation, financial reporting, and patient and provider satisfaction.
Unsustainable losses in physician enterprise
Many hospitals experience significant losses in their owned physician practices. These losses often stem from multiple factors, including the use of an antiquated practice management system, a poorly implemented EMR, or a physician compensation model not tied to the practice’s bottom line or patient satisfaction.
Ensuring that each area is operating at best practice levels can significantly decrease a hospital’s loss in the physician enterprise.
How Southwind Helps
Benefits of a third party
Retaining a third-party expert to facilitate a significant change process can be more effective than the do-it-yourself approach, largely because a third party is prepared to make high-risk decisions with less fear of making difficult choices that could affect existing relationships.
While remaining sensitive to the value of the individual physician relationships, Southwind counsels organizations to ensure difficult questions are asked and appropriately addressed.
At Southwind, we are able to not only identify and quantify the gaps in a practice’s current performance against best practice standards but also lead the full improvement process across all aspects of the practice:
Our team is composed of experts in each of these areas who can partner with your organization, either comprehensively through practice management services or as focused consulting engagements.
