Introducing the All-New Remote Practice Managers – Practice Transformers!

Remote Practice Managers

Introducing the All-New Remote Practice Managers – Practice Transformers!

What Do We Do?

We’ll like to start by welcoming you to Remote Practice Managers – the people that run private practices for profit! We engineer growth by removing obstacles in every channel along the patient process. This creates a dynamic, leaner more profitable practice. In today’s environment, any effort you take to improve your bottom line could be the difference between profit and loss. And trusting the profitability of your business to “up-in-the-air managers” (no pon intended) could spell disaster for your practice – whether to painfully remain in business or out of business.

The pressure on providers today due to Covid-19 and its aftershock, declining reimbursement, healthcare reform, plus the rising emphasis on performance, and quality improvement measures, make our services a no-brainer.

A Look at Some of the Challenges Facing Healthcare Today:

As we all know, small and mid-sized practices face the same complex documentation, coding, billing, and reimbursement issues as larger organizations do.

These challenges stop small physician and dental practices from really taking off. And for these practices, managers must know how to efficiently manage and coordinate communications among the practice staff, outside vendors, third-party payers, patients, and so on. Managers must know how to apply evidence-based practices, Lean, Kaizen, and other management techniques to achieve the much-needed lift for their organizations.

How Does Recruiting in Today’s Environment Affect Your Bottomline?

We know too well how difficult it is to recruit and retain skilled managers trained to handle the challenges posed by today’s practice environment. Hey! Some practices can’t even afford to hire skilled managers!

This recruiting difficulty is often compounded by the size of the practice, the geographical location of the practice, or just plain old limited budget.

As a result, small practices with budget constraints end up struggling to run their practices without qualified managers and employees. They tolerate ineffective managers. Or worst still, pay through their teeth to retain the skilled managers they currently have.

Practice Efficiency – How Does Your Business Become Efficient?

Simply put, efficiency is a ratio of output to input expressed as a percentage. There are many ways to improve the efficiency of processes, machines, and systems in your organization. The bottom line is that you want your practice to be more efficient. To do this, we need to start with practice optimization.

Practice Optimization:

This is where Remote Practice Managers comes in – the people that run your practice for profit. Remote Practice Managers, as a tool, focuses on the efficiency enhancement of your business – a 360-degree approach.

What We Do:

Here’s What We Do

Remote Practice Managers brings optimized end-to-end management to your business.
We improve efficiencies across the entire practice – starting from when the patient schedules an appointment; when the patient walks in through the door; when the patient receives treatment; when the patient walks out the door; and everything else that happens in between and afterward.

The result is an overall growth in revenue, care quality improvement, a rise in patient and employee satisfaction.

We achieve this for less than the average cost of hiring an experienced full-time professional manager.

Modus Operandi:

Here’s Our Operational Modus – Modus Operandi – or MO!

We begin the project with an on-site analysis or evaluation of the practice. This helps us to establish a base point, to discover gaps in the current process, and to highlight areas that need improvement.

We recommend that you begin this process by taking our online 20-minute practice assessment survey.

The survey is a Yes or a No battery test. And it’s free!
We review the insights generated by the test with you to help develop an action plan.

Next, Remote Practice Managers works with the staff and the management to set goals, establish policies and procedures, and develop protocols for ongoing communications between Remote Practice Managers and the practice staff.

Using the Customized Portal:

Working with your staff or the manager, Remote Practice Managers begins remote management of the practice’s intake, documentation, coding, billing, cash posting, reporting, and routine monitoring of performance standards.

Through remote and on-site communications customized to the needs of the practice, Remote Practice Managers maintains contact with practice staff, management, third-party payers, and vendors.

Our objective is to hit the daily goal, to hit the weekly goal, and to hit the monthly set goals month after month. That’s our goal!

The Steps – After Service Activation:

Here’s How We’re Going to Do It. There are two broad steps or phases.

Step 1: Laying the Foundation.

We prepare the practice by installing the tools that will form the bedrock for the successful implementation of the action plan.

Meeting With Key Decision Makers:

Meet with the key management (online) to gain an understanding of their primary concerns and objectives. This helps us to generate an overarching goal for the practice.

Work Review and Updates:

We review work procedures and update them as necessary.

Practice Workflow:

We review the practice workflow. This is the linchpin of everything we do.

Lead Staff:

We identify lead staff to perform specific management tasks as directed by Remote Practice Managers.

Potential Realignment:

We realign existing staff, if necessary, to optimize practice performance, based on the knowledge, strengths, and weaknesses of each staff.

Performance Expectations:

We establish and implement short-term 3 to 6 month’s performance expectations.

Reference Files:

We create digital reference files of all-payer credentialing, payer contracts, policies, procedures, outside vendors, etc., and house them in a centralized permission-based portal location.

You’ll have full control of this even after the termination of our service.

Create Remote Access Connection:

We establish remote access between Remote Practice Managers and the practice’s EMR software, email, etc.

Unique Identities:

We establish unique identities, e.g. staff_name@yourdomainname.com for all business-related communications, security policies, etc.

Finalize the Action Plan:

We create, review and finalize the action plan with the help of the senior management and the staff. The plan must be approved by the senior management.

This foundational work will be completed in the first month of our engagement.

Then we enter…

The Active Engagement Phase – The Operational Phase:

Step II:

This is the Active Engagement Phase. This is when the process begins in earnest.

In this phase we…

Devote Attention to Details:

We remotely monitor the patient workflow to make sure the workflow is followed religiously, and that the appropriate data is collected at each step of the process.

The workflow is a hugely important area that should not be overlooked. Overlook it at your peril.

Remotely monitor the patient appointment schedule to review the level of No shows, customer satisfaction, etc.

Data and System Financials:

Remotely monitor patient account data and system financial reports – if and when necessary.

Key Performance Reports:

Monitor key performance reports with emphasis on cash flows and other important metrics.

Third-party Payer Communications:

Communicate with third-party payers on contract and reimbursement matters.

Bidirectional Communication With Key Staff:

Communicate with designated practice staff as needed.

Regulatory Updates:

Interpret regulatory updates and communicate to staff as needed.

Performance Reviews:

Conduct scheduled conference calls with key staff to review practice performance metrics.

Scheduled Updates:

Provide key staff and the senior management with scheduled updates of the practice’s performance through phone calls, e-mails, and periodic on-site meetings.

Employee Training:

Conduct weekly or monthly employee training.

Staff Meetings:

Conduct daily, or weekly, or monthly – depending on your plan – early morning – before the start of the day – meetings to call everyone’s attention to the goal for that day, and to discuss other matters that may arise.

Don’t hesitate to Sign up:

Sign up Now!

But wait…!

Listen to this very important announcement!

If your practice is run by a family member or a friend, do not sign up. It’s like a multiheaded snake – not knowing which head to focus on. Can’t fire them without sacrificing the relationship.

If you are the kind of leader that finds it very difficult to make decisions, or you make them all right but your decisions are not based on data, please do not sign up. If your practice has a culture that’s totally resistance to change, do not sign up. We have no time to burn. If you don’t have a vision for your practice or don’t know how to effectively communicate it to the team, do not sign up. If you are the kind of leader that is on one side of an issue today, and tomorrow on the other side of the same issue – always going with the wind, Oh please don’t sign up. You are the leader but you match to the left and to the right on the orders of your assistants (to their whims and caprices) please spare the drama. Absolutely, do not sign up. If you lead by democracy with endless meetings, instead of leading by evidence-based management, do not sign up. Too much pain to bear. If you have that one team member that must agree before everything else works, a team member we must all bow to, oh please, show me some love – do not sign up. We don’t have the whole time in the world.

However, if everything I just mentioned applies to you, but you and your team are fully committed to work with Remote Practice Managers, knowing that it is all for their own benefit, we’re more than happy to work with you and your team to take your practice to the next level.
