Operation assessment

 

Operations Assessment

In these times of drastically reduced reimbursement rates and higher costs, managing metrics & efficiencies in an agency’s operation is critical. Wasteful, redundant and time consuming processes increase agency costs dramatically.

  • Do you have low staff productivity?
  • Or maybe your agency has consistent trouble receiving 485s and F2F paperwork?
  • Are your hospice costs per patient day too high?
  • How about those consistent issues with accounts receivable, denials and bad debt?

An objective evaluation of your organization’s internal performance can deliver a critical perspective on the processes, skills, and risks that are presently in place, identifying areas needing improvement and assisting you in the development of a plan to correct flawed operations. Let us help you decrease costs, reduce backlogs and increase the quality and efficiency of your organization. Do you know what your critical metrics are?

Testimonials:

“We engaged the services of Joan Hull following a merger with a long term care agency. She used her thorough in-depth knowledge of home care and her ability to engage staff to provide a thoughtful, thorough and practical analysis for us that we have been able to use, incorporating many of her suggestions into practice. Her operational analysis was one of the best and most useful things we have done.”
