Services
Health Directions provides business solutions for healthcare organizations. We focus on these key, high-impact service areas:
Revenue Cycle Management
The health care revenue cycle is complex and interconnected. A few flawed processes can weaken the entire reimbursement chain and lead to poor financial results. Fortunately, this also represents an opportunity. Optimizing business office processes, payer relationships, patient flow and information system configuration can bring about exceptional gains in both cash flow and net revenue.
Healthcare Information Technology
For many healthcare organizations, adopting new information technology creates new problems and inefficiencies. Why? Because the organization does not reengineer its clinical and business office processes for the new IT environment. The results are missed opportunities, under-utilized technology and greater physician and staff frustration.
Hospital and Physician Alignment
To thrive in the years ahead, hospitals and health systems must be able to forge strong relationships with physicians. The key is creating mechanisms for aligning physician interests with those of the organization.
Practice Management
In today’s challenging healthcare environment, medical practices that lack effective management can quickly develop problems in patient service, financial performance, and physician and staff satisfaction. Health Directions provides short- and medium-term practice management services that help medical groups achieve and maintain strong performance.
Accountable Care Organization (ACO) Readiness
Recent passage of the Health Reform Act has resulted in a myriad of proposed changes impacting providers (physicians and hospitals), payers, and patients. While specifics related to the changes have yet to be fully defined, it is clear that collaboration, aligned incentives, integration, connectivity and accountability will be hallmark characteristics of the new model(s) of care.
