Who, if anyone, within your center, is best manage a particularly difficult employment issue? To do your accounting? To maintain your credentialing files in a constant audit-ready condition? Or even establish your billing and collecting to optimize reimbursement? Handling many non-core functions internally can often be an expensive distraction to providing great, efficient patient care to two to five hundred patients each month.
The answer? Hire outside advisors and services providers to handle these important areas that are critical, do not require full-time attention, and are not related to patient care. In fact, one of the best resources are firms that outsource business processes; in these arrangements, you can often realize significant cost savings, compared to internal staff or consultants, while improving the level of service you receive and reducing the number of vendors you need to manage.
