04. Business Development and Strategic Marketing

Healthcare is a constantly changing environment and it’s hard to keep up if you have a busy clinical practice.  A solid balance sheet and a smart strategic plan is essential for survival for any business organization.

• • • • Are you promoting your practice properly, in the right venue and at the right price that leads to growth?
      • What is your social media presence?
      •  Are marketing dollars spent translating into an improved bottom line
      • What are your goals for growth and practice succession?
      • Do you have the appropriate staff to physician ratio?
      • How can technology improve patient flow and care?
      • What is your operating margin and how can it be improved without sacrificing quality and care?
      • Is your office the right location for ease of patient access?

These are just some of the strategic questions we love to tackle.  Our goal is for you to both survive and thrive.  If we do our job well, you do well, and the patients do well.

05. Staff Management and Administration

Ashwood Solutions offers staffing redundancy for small practices. If one of your staff members is going on vacation, we can provide a temporary replacement who has worked closely with your practice. From billing to front desk employees, Ashwood Solutions has you covered. If you prefer not to be a human resource administrator, we can do that for you. We have the experience and the human resource knowledge to help your practice grow.

06. Prior Authorizations and Referral services

Ashwood Solutions understand payer-specific preauthorization requirements and monitor for confirmation of payer decisions. The AMA reports that pre-authorization consumes approximately 1 hour of physician time, 13.1 hours of nurse time, and 6.3 hours of clerical time per week.  It is estimated that staff members in practices spend up to nine hours each week just on hold for pre-authorization responses.  Let Ashwood Solutions reduce this burden and frustration on your staff.
