We're Not Experimenting; We're Doing What Works.
Our team members have spent their careers inside medical group operations, many integrated with hospital systems. We understand the inner workings and challenges and we know how to implement what works.
- Define collaborative strengths
- Align goals
- Promote cooperation
- Execute strategy
- Reward mutual success
One of the greatest challenges to all medical groups is developing and maintaining business strategies and plans. Many groups operate with a general idea of their direction, yet lack the clarity of future objectives and goals.
Our team members have led medical groups and their healthcare partners in successful strategic and operational planning for over thirty years. Our expertise and methodology have proven successful at the individual practice level, the departmental and division levels, and at the business enterprise level.
Often, our planning efforts extend to the groups’ strategic partners, including hospitals, health plans, IPA's and other entities within the health system. Our professional business planners assist operational managers in tasks including:
-
Defining the process of planning that is appropriate for each client
-
Identifying critical information to be assembled, developed and researched
-
Collecting and integrating the vast information that should be considered in planning
-
Developing market assessments that allow the group to ascertain the impact of their strategies and plans on their customers, patients and key relationships and the positioning of the medical group within the competitive market
-
Defining strategic options and leading the group in properly evaluating and selecting priorities, goals and objectives
-
Delivering financial and operational impact analyses
-
Developing implementation plans and organizational resources
-
Embedding an on-going planning initiative as a part of the organization’s business culture
-
Facilitating the “eye opening” SWOT analysis, as needed and appropriate
-
Following the Business/Strategic Planning process with a Work Plan document development, upon client request
PivotHealth stands apart from other business strategy consultants because we apply both historical and current knowledge with industry experience that allows us to fully engage physicians and managers in the collaborative planning process. The output of this planning model is a clear vision of organizational objectives and directions, well defined goals, and explicit and detailed actions that are essential to the group’s success. This plan is then integrated in the management plan and becomes the standard by which the group measures its progress.
One of the hallmarks of PivotHealth's success is our ability to build and strengthen highly collaborative relationships between hospitals or health systems and their affiliated physician groups. We work effectively to bring parties together by aligning goals, promoting cooperation, and rewarding mutual success.
