Multi-Specialty Right-Sizing

Client: Multi-Specialty Clinic, 1997

Patient Demand + Physician Productivity = Multi-Specialty Practice Design

The fiscal pressures of managed care caused many provider organizations to examine internal operations for streamlining opportunities.

In this project, a customized planning model merged actuarial use rates, professional productivity standards and patient volumes to study actual vs. expected staffing levels by specialty. The model, developed with significant clinician collaboration, guided both a medical staff “right-sizing”, and a subsequent recruiting program.
