Our hospital affiliation consulting services for physicians
Our approach
We offer a holistic consulting approach to provide a critical and in-depth analysis of your complex physician-hospital relationships. Our consultants have broad experience leading and managing physician practices in hospital-based, academic, and private practice settings. This enables us to focus on financial, strategic, and operational improvements that are mutually beneficial to the parties involved.
We will analyze and assess your practice to identify areas of opportunity and develop strategies based on best practices and available resources. By meeting with leadership from the hospital or health system and physician practice, we will work to understand strategic goals of both parties. Together we’ll decide what would most benefit your practice: full practice assessments, education on sustaining optimal practice operations, development of key performance indicators and tracking mechanisms, or assistance in contract negotiations.
