Strategic Initiatives

Business Development:

One of the most common mistakes in business development is to skip the step of a market study and SWOT analysis. It is akin to “flying blind.”

When you understand your market, your Strengths and Weaknesses, and your Opportunities and Threats, you are prepared to make the kinds of decisions and invest in the ways most likely to lead your company to success.

You can then target only those most likely to be interested in forming a business relationship or strategic initiative with you.

Next, we develop presentations and methods to best tell your story about how valuable what your provide can be to your customer, referral source, investor, or strategic partner, so that you don’t waste precious resources on pursuing deals unlikely to ever close.

Alliances:

The medical community is, by its very nature, relational rather than transactional, such as in real estate, where, once a deal is done, one is unlikely to ever see the other party again. Most deals that fail in the medical community fail because the deal was not designed to foster trust or accommodate change without escalating conflict or litigation.

By switching the paradigm to view the local medical community as an assembly of interdependent constituents, long term success and security can be measured by the number of developing trusted relationships and strategic alliances.

We view negotiations as the exploration of what the respective parties want the most, and then we find a way to satisfy those priorities. Setting reasonable expectations is critical to the success of deals where there are interdependencies.

Billing & Collections:

Many of those who outsource their billing and collections don’t recognized that it is one of their most important strategic relationships. A billing company run amok can put you out of business, because billing compliance is your legal responsibility. We can help you choose the right company, or determined whether to bring billing in-house. We will help you design meaningful reporting systems that allow you to understand the state of your business, insure you are complying with all regulatory statutes, and receiving the best possible performance and value.

Technology

Planning:

Technology can be a double-edged sword. While it can make our lives easier and create efficiencies on the one hand, when it doesn’t work – or work right – it can become a nightmare on the other.

We can help you choose the right technology, use it effectively, and safeguard your uptime and valuable data.

Purchasing:

We can help you negotiate the best prices or leases, design an achievable implementation plan, right-size your maintenance schedule, and cover all the bases to be sure your technology meets your expectations and adds value, strengthening your business.

Implementation:

Whether it is something as simple as designing and hosting a website, or a more complex decisions such as choosing an electronic medical record vendor or equipping an OR, we have in-house expertise that understands both the technology and medical landscapes.

With more complex projects, such as integrating electronic medical records from several hospitals servicing a medical group, we can help you choose and integrator that is both competent and cost effective, and that understands the issues posed in the medical information continuum.
