Start-Up Services
Medical practice consulting services can help with employee turnover in healthcare settings. At Physician Practice Specialists, we can conduct assessments to identify the causes of employee turnover within a medical practice. Here are some ways in which consulting services may address employee turnover:
Efficiency and Workflow Improvement
Medical practice consulting services gather information on the current workflow, including patient intake, appointment scheduling, billing processes, and staff responsibilities to identify redundancies. When employees experience less frustration due to streamlined processes, it can positively impact job satisfaction and reduce turnover. Our team can implement automated billing systems to reduce manual errors and speed up the billing cycle.
Digital patient registration helps reduce paperwork and enhances the patient experience. Electronic health record systems capture, store, and manage patient health information, while practice management systems handle administrative and financial functions. Robust encryption protocols can secure the transmission of sensitive patient data during remote consultations.
Training and Development
Qualified medical practice consultants identify improvement areas and provide staff training on new processes and technologies. Training in medical coding systems like ICD-10, CPT, and documentation requirements enables codes to reflect the services provided, reducing claim denials and delays.
At Physician Practice Specialists, we can train on efficient patient registration to reduce errors for billing purposes. We educate staff on verifying patient insurance coverage, eligibility, and pre-authorization processes. Staff can receive training on the entire billing and claims processing cycle, including charge capture, claims submission, and follow-up.
Financial Stability
Medical practices can work with our consultants to establish an effective revenue cycle management (RCM). A well-managed revenue cycle gives the practice a steady and predictable cash flow. Accurate coding, clear patient statements, and transparent billing practices contribute to faster and more efficient collections.
In some cases, RCM consultants evaluate the impact of each role on the revenue cycle, considering claims processing, billing accuracy, and collection efficiency. They can assess how well individuals in specific roles manage outstanding balances, implement payment plans, and optimize collection strategies. This helps establish a fair and competitive compensation structure based on the skills, responsibilities, and experience required for each position.
Performance Metrics and Recognition
Consultants can develop key performance indicators and recognition systems that reward employees’ contributions, fostering a positive work environment. They analyze metrics relevant to the revenue cycle, such as billing accuracy, claims processing time, denial rates, and collection efficiency. Our team can provide regular reports to the medical practice, summarizing performance metrics and highlighting areas of improvement. Recognizing employees’ contributions to reducing claim denial rates or enhancing revenue per patient can boost job satisfaction. Consultants assist in designing dashboards that visually represent KPI data in real-time, allowing leadership and relevant teams to monitor progress and make data-driven decisions.
