Advanced Practice Professionals (APPS) are increasingly important as health systems strive to fill care delivery gaps and enhance access to care. Effectively integrating APPs into the health care delivery models and empowering them to operate at the top of their license can address these concerns, streamline operations, improve revenue, and maintain high quality patient care. HSG Advisors provides strategies to help healthcare leaders achieve these goals - learn more on our site. https://lnkd.in/d58_B6pF #healthcareconsulting #healthcareleaders #APP #advancedpracticeprovider #employedphysicians #healthsystem #hospital

Re-evaluating your organization's approach to primary care has never been more urgent. Competition is impinging health systems from multiple directions - and is compounded by provider and support staff shortages. We discuss key primary care considerations to drive patients to your organization in this summary of a recent Society for Health Care Strategy & Market Development (SHSMD) session I presented with TRAVIS ANSEL.

As employed networks merge, consolidate, and grow, the infrastructure can lag behind, which can then lead to operational inefficiencies, stretched resources, suboptimal performance, and burnout. Evaluating the network's organizational structure and associated management infrastructure prior to the anticipated growth - or immediately thereafter - can identify and correct potential pitfalls to improve morale and performance. https://lnkd.in/gWrHeniM #healthcareconsultin #employednetwork #physician #healthcareleader #healthsystem
