We can help project manage your entire accreditation process.  We offer project leadership and management skills as well as specific expertise on each section of the requirements. We can be involved at whatever level you need;  either preparing information for accreditation reviewers or reviewing your information for them as part of your readiness planning.

The environment for business is at an all time high in terms of rules and regulations.  The fines and penalties are enormous.  Government expects management to know these requirements and meet them completely.  Developing, implementing, and training staff on ethics and an effective compliance plan is a huge task. We offer access to reasonably priced external hotlines available 24/7/365 with live responders as well as all the other components of a comprehensive, effective plan.  This is a perfect task to outsource as it aids in perceived objectivity and therefore results in this very important area. 

Policy And Procedure Review / Development

Accreditation reviewers require complete, concise policies and procedures around all your processes, both administrative and clinical.  Good, sound management   and risk management practices do as well.  Yet, it is very difficult to include the multitude of situations and issues that are necessary in order for these procedures to be complete. We can help ensure that your processes and expectations are clearly conveyed in both procedures, employee handbooks, and other process forms .

Many providers began their business with core competency in clinical care.  The financial and administrative aspects of the business are a source of stress and confusion. Expertise is hard to find and very expensive.  Huge decisions around information systems, reimbursement processes, organizational structure, employee benefits, budgeting, management reporting tools and incentives for staff can quickly overwhelm management’s main task of providing services to consumers.  We offer expertise in all these areas and can actually provide electronic billing should you need it. Many providers have found the cost report requirements to be quite onerous.  Call us if you need assistance with your cost report.
