Using innovation and physician engagement to optimize hospitalist programs
Ameeva LLC focuses on helping organizations solve a wide variety of challenges faced by their hospitalist programs. We specialize in turning around distressed hospitalist programs by using innovation and harnessing the power of physician engagement. We provide solutions that help create a stable work environment where hospitalists can provide the best possible, cost effective, accountable and measurable patient care. We develop our solutions by drawing from our experience, in solving a wide variety of challenges faced by multiple hospitalist programs in multiple settings.
The challenges faced by any hospitalist program can be divided broadly into three categories. These categories are
-
Clinical challenges
-
Financial challenges
-
Operational challenges
We believe that hospitalists are the most important factor in creating a successful hospitalist program. Hospitalists need an environment that provides them with stability, respect and avenues for growth. Once the hospitalists have an environment with all these key ingredients, they are motivated to function as a part of team that works for the patients, community and the organization, thus making the program successful.
Our solutions try to achieve this by using the following basic principles.
-
Innovative resource realignment (achieved in a resource neutral way as much as possible).
-
Aligning the goals of the hospitalist with that of the hospital/organization.
-
Alignment of operations of the hospitalist program with the finances of the program by utilizing the four basic drivers of the hospitalist balance sheet.
Please visit our solutions page to see how we can translate the above principles to develop solutions that help stabilizing the hospitalist programs.
Our process of engaging with the client is fairly simple and can be in the individualized for each organization or hospital. It basically involves four steps
-
Step 1 On Site 360° comprehensive analysis of the program
-
Step 2 Developing a solution
-
Step 3 Putting forth the recommendations in very well defined easily actionable time bound steps for each stakeholder
-
Step 4 Discussing the corrective action plan with the administration and all of the stakeholders
The stepwise format of the solution strategy also addresses the leadership development and most importantly the change management needed for implementation of the solutions. We were also glad to help with the implementation of the plan if so desired.
