Our Medical Practice Operations Consulting Services

Operating an effective medical practice operation and being a successful business owner are two completely different things. Medical practice owners today need more than education and experience to operate.

Figuring out how to grow a medical practice takes time and strategy. Before you can experiment with growth strategies, you need to determine your goals. Maybe your goal is to increase your patient base, improve revenue, or discover new patient demographics. Our experienced consultants will help you clarify your goals in order to develop a more effective plan for how to operate and grow your practice.

Many factors — including but not limited to your specialty, area of practice, service offerings, and financial situation — will play a role in your practice’s success. DoctorsManagement provides the following list of healthcare consulting services.

Practice assessment

An assessment will provide a snapshot of financial and operational data in order to increase productivity and revenue and reduce burnout.

Strategic Planning With DoctorsManagement

Practice management consists of everything else that occurs in a patient encounter outside of the physician’s actual treatment of the patient. Practice managers are in charge of organizing office workflows, patient flow, procedures, and tasks, then breaking down those tasks into roles and assignments for staff in order to optimize the visit. Tasks can include authorizations, eligibility, pre-exams, front-office and back-office scheduling, management, collections, revenue cycle, and even referrals and checkout. Every staff member should have their defined roles.

However, more valuable tasks the manager performs include hiring, training, and organizing the staff, managing the finances and compliance, ensuring the practice is paid properly for services rendered, and ensuring the patients are happy and satisfied. Their mission is to allow the doctor(s) to focus solely on the care of their patients and not be burdened by running the office. DoctorsManagement specializes in mapping out the plan that works best for each individual practice, no matter if it is a solo practice with limited staff or a larger practice with multiple levels of management.
