This is the final part of a three-part series on the importance of independent specialty practices in America. Part 1 explains why consolidation is not the promised cure-all solution. Part 2 describes the challenges associated with running practices to meet the expectations of modern healthcare. This part explains why the right specialty practice management partner can make all the difference.
Medicine today requires too much of independent specialty practices. Instead of being able to focus time and energy on patients, you’re stuck managing the business side of your practice–an ever-increasing burden.
You’ve worked hard to build your practice to what it is today, but keeping up with all the policy changes, paperwork, and business operations while also taking care of your patients is no longer sustainable. Specialty practice management has become increasingly challenging. The good news is you don’t have to take it all on alone, and you don’t have to submit to the corporate pressures of consolidation.
The corporate pressures to succumb to consolidation are strong, especially as the burdens of running a practice on your own continue to increase.
But you don’t have to do it alone – we recommend finding a specialty practice management partner to help your practice succeed in the market while remaining independent.
Doctors know that documentation is key for reimbursement, but the volume of metrics associated with a practice is often overwhelming. There are metrics about your patients and their outcomes, metrics about you and your performance within a facility, and even key benchmarks that PE expects you to hit. Ultimately, although important, these metrics are typically focused on profits instead of patient care. The right partner will help you uncover the critical KPIs that actually impact your practice and help you optimize them to strengthen practice operations.
A lot of medicine is based on metrics – but do you know which critical KPIs actually impact your practice’s success?
The future of your practice hinges on critical partnerships with payers, patients, and referring providers. While you’re an expert in your practice, we can provide enhanced support with a comprehensive view of what is happening across the industry and within your specialty. We can help you cultivate these partnerships in a way that will continue to support your practice. We can help you answer critical practice questions to help support these relationships like:
Do you know how to answer these critical questions?
High-quality, affordable healthcare is supported by specialty independent practices that provide patients with more choices as to where to get their care support high-quality, affordable healthcare. It’s important that these doctor-patient relationships are maintained and enhanced rather than lost to the pressures of consolidation. It’s not easy, but specialists who can build and maintain the right partnerships will not only survive but flourish in this new environment.
