Your healthcare organization is at one of the most critical junctures in history. The strategic decisions you make in the coming months will have direct and significant impacts on the likelihood of your organization’s success for years to come.
The current government economic incentives (ARRA/HITECH) are probably the most significant and important opportunities to improve operations and patient care that your healthcare organization has ever had. A key component of your ability to capitalize on the unprecedented EHR economic incentives is to achieve meaningful use of the technologies that you will be implementing - in a set, aggressive timeline. Your inability to reach these IT adoption usage goals could cost your organization up to hundreds of thousands of dollars in lost rebates.
Beacon Partners will advise you on how to take full advantage of this unprecedented opportunity to create an optimized IT infrastructure that will enable the successful deployment of a long-term enterprise strategy through improved productivity, connectivity, safety and patient experiences.
IT Strategy
Beacon Partners advises on how to define, implement and manage a sustainable IT plan with a governance structure that will enable and drive your organization’s strategic mission, financial performance and market competitiveness. Your net result: reduced errors, improved quality and, in the end, reduced overall healthcare costs. And, we will ensure that you reach the meaningful use requirements on schedule.
HIE Planning
Your ability to exchange healthcare information successfully with the entire healthcare community is at the core of your organization’s enterprise strategy. We advise on how to create an EMR alignment strategy that encompasses primary care and specialists in the community; this includes governance structures, Stark requirements and interoperability planning.
Physician-Hospital Alignment
Physician alignment is critical at multiple levels: as a key driver of a successful strategy execution; dictating business growth from patient referrals; making compliance with safety and quality standards much easier and leading to meaningful use of technology. Beacon Partners advises you on how to align IT as it relates to EMRs, including funding options, structure and governance.
Revenue Cycle Optimization
Our extensive experience and expertise in the full scope of a healthcare organization’s revenue cycle, IT and operations, allows us to execute efficiently a top-to-bottom analysis and ensure you not only do not leave money on the table, but also bring the CASH in the door faster.
Outsourcing Advisory Services
Increasingly, healthcare organizations are outsourcing functions such as billing and collection, support services (including food, housekeeping, maintenance), mobile and clinical services and information technology. Organizations have relied on Beacon Partners to guide them through the process of evaluating the business case for outsourcing, determining the best outsourcing strategy, and detailing an agreement that yields the highest return on investment.
Interim-Management Services
Our interim-management services provide relief during times of change and transition within an organization. We also coach organizations and leadership teams through these transitional periods in the areas of business and clinical operations, as well as information technology.
