Hospital & Healthcare Consulting Services

Running a hospital efficiently goes beyond delivering quality healthcare services. It also means staying on top of the facility’s finances. With costs escalating, it has become essential for management to run hospitals with financial and operational performance in mind. Many hospitals face financial straits as a result of difficult market conditions, a factor that may threaten their existence. Proper hospital management helps to ensure long-term hospital sustainability giving the surrounding community access to quality healthcare for many years. As such, healthcare consulting services play an essential role in helping hospital leaders navigate any crisis.

Hospital and healthcare consulting services help to identify the challenges hospitals face. The first step is an analysis called an operational assessment. The next step is outlining recommendations on how to improve clinical outcomes, patient satisfaction, and financial performance. At Community Hospital Corporation, we are committed to maintaining access to local quality healthcare across the country. Our healthcare consulting engagements involves a thorough assessment of operations, presentation of the findings, and recommendations to be implemented by the hospital leadership. The recommendations help to bring distressed community hospitals out of crisis. In addition, healthcare consulting services ensure hospitals are running efficiently and avoiding common pitfalls that compromise performance.

Community hospitals across the country have turned to CHC Consulting services to improve patient satisfaction, clinical outcomes and financial performance.

Following a thorough assessment and presentation of findings and recommendations, hospital leadership may wish to implement this action plan on its own. Otherwise, CHC Consulting can remain involved in a healthcare consulting or hospital management role.

Path to Sustainability

To be sure that community hospitals will benefit from the healthcare consulting services we offer, there are several areas that we focus on. Here is how our healthcare and hospital consulting services help to put health facilities on the path to sustainability.

Operational Assessment

In order to identify the issues that affect performance, we will need to evaluate the hospital’s business processes. Evaluation allows us to make recommendations that will help to deal with the problems when implemented. We then create a plan that will ensure proper implementation of the recommendations. When hospital leaderships collaborate with our consultants, there is a good chance that the hospital will move towards sustainability.

Clinical Care

Our healthcare and hospital consulting services place a lot of emphasis on clinical care. Since the primary aim of any healthcare facility is to offer high-quality clinical care, we work with hospitals to suggest clinical care solutions that will ensure this goal is met. We help optimize processes that improve the quality of care and enhance patient engagement, which play a big role in helping to boost patient volumes and increasing revenue.

System Modernization

Today, technology and security are critically important when hospitals are working to face challenges and increase efficiency. When you seek our consulting services, we will suggest the right technology, depending on your needs and vulnerabilities. We also provide outsourced technology consulting services so that you can focus on serving your patients. In addition to suggesting suitable solutions, we will oversee implementation and work with you to ensure that the technology keeps all private data safe.

Medical Staff-Hospital Relations

Most of the hospitals seeking consulting services have faced dwindling cash reserves and declining patient volume. One of the common causes of these challenges is poor relations between the medical staff and the hospital. Since several factors can affect the relationship, and we will identify the problems during our operational assessment. The suggestions we submit to the management team will be designed to address all outstanding issues for improved cooperation and better service delivery.

Operational Performance Improvement

The process to improve operational performance is complex. We conduct analyses of different departments, programs, services, and facilities. After we have established the status of the organization, we will create and implement a strategy that will help to improve efficiency and productivity. The process may include matching staffing to patterns of demand for patient satisfaction.

Business Planning

Proper business planning is key to achieving sustainability in a hospital. Some of the issues that hospital leadership must consider include demand forecasting, financial analysis, service line development, analysis of business opportunities, budgeting, development of business plans, and resource allocation. The goal of business planning is to grow revenue and reduce expenses while delivering high quality care.

Strategic Planning

In addition to business planning, strategic planning is another important factor in the path to sustainability. Community hospitals can avoid crises by creating a clear vision for the organization, positioning the organization to take advantage of opportunities, and planning for growth. Our healthcare consulting services will include retreat facilitation, implementation support, and strategic advisory assistance. For us to successfully place the hospital on the path to sustainability, we will require a lot of cooperation from the hospital leadership.
