Helping Doctors Focus on Care, Not Paperwork
Most doctors spend years in school learning to be the best in their field, not learning to run a business. Their passions are in the business of helping, healing and improving lives. Unfortunately, those dreams can seem less attainable in today’s climate of bureaucracy, red tape and paperwork that hinder even the most talented medical professionals. Premier Health, a leader in health care management, is helping turn doctors’ dreams into reality, with the side effect of higher quality care benefiting the patient.
When a medical practice brings Premier Health on board, it is really bringing a team of top management services, accountable care organizations and marketing specialists to help it grow to be profitable, attract top medical professionals and in turn offer their clients a better experience all around for both independent practices and large-scale hospital systems.
“To be profitable as a medical practice, you have to fire on all engines,” explained Robert Downing, founder of Premier Health. “All of the parts of the business have to be working together to keep the practice flourishing. We bring the behind-the-scenes groups together, affiliated as one product, and make practices profitable, more successful and an improved benefit to its patients.”
Creating Sustainable, Profitable Practices
On the operational side, Premier Health helps doctors focus on seeing their patients. The group fuses together to bring money back to the practices, making it easy for them to thrive by doing what they do best. The doctors are free to practice medicine however they prefer, rather than losing money in a sea of paperwork and bureaucracy.
Premier Health also thrives in rural areas. In places where medical care was low-quality or inaccessible, medical practices backed by Premier Health have a blueprint to grow, develop a talented team and help more people.
“Premier Health is a different brand of management services organization. We’ve increased our practices’ profitability immensely – in some cases by a few million dollars in a year – because many didn’t know what they didn’t know. A practice may not know they’re losing money in certain ways or what the best practices are when managing debt. We bring all of that to the table,” Downing said.
Branding, Marketing, and Operational Strategy
In addition to making the practice profitable and stable, Premier Health’s team develops a marketing and branding plan to inform and connect potential patients with the best doctors. A successfully run, well-known practice attracts more top medical professionals. “It’s important to brand your name correctly so these doctors feel more secure when they come onto the practice,” Downing added. “The more skilled and trusted team you put together, the more patients can get better medical services.”
Premier Health examines all of the business’ moving parts, analyzing what is and is not needed, coordinating revenue cycle management, credentialing, supply purchasing and IT services and improving executive leadership.
“As these practices succeed, patients gain access to the highest quality care, which keeps them out of the hospital,” Downing smiled. “I like helping practices and watching them grow, but ultimately it’s about patients getting better care. These are all benefits that help them improve their lives.”
