If Running Your Business Is Giving You A Headache, Then A Thorough Organizational Assessment Is Better Than More Medicine!
You need an organizational assessment. So, we have all been here. Whether it’s staffing, personnel, or regulatory change, its frustrating. If we are so locked in the day-to-day of running our business, then it can be difficult to see where operational changes would really make a difference. We’re too in the thick of it. Enter the objective person to complete an organizational assessment. It’s not just looking at your business where you know you have issues; that’s not what I’m talking about here. Let’s really understand what an organizational assessment brings to the table.
Organizational Assessment 101:
Anyone who knows me has heard me say it is sometimes difficult to see the forest for the trees. But, it’s true. We are so in the middle of all the trees during every day we work. So are our staff. We don’t take a step back to see the forest. We see agencies all over the United States making decisions that don’t benefit their businesses in the long run. Trying to manage the forest by making decisions only about trees will ruin the entire forest. Ok, enough about the tree analogy. So, do you find yourself stuck? Not making the dollars you should? Struggling with recruitment and retention? Is efficiency an issue? Are you not getting market share or seeing the benefits from your marketing efforts? Are clinical outcomes not where they need to be? These are all reasons to consider an organizational assessment.
What Is Typically Evaluated?
First of all, we focus organizational assessments around what your biggest concern is as an agency. Here are a list of targeted focuses within our organizational assessments:
- Clinical Documentation
- Clinical Efficiencies
- Recruitment/Retention
- Coordinated Care Planning
- Clinical Management/ Visit Management
- Clinical Outcomes
- Financial Health/ Growth
- Marketing/ Sales/ Competitive Analysis
- Operations From Referral To Billing
- Job Roles Within Agency
- ICD 10 Coding
- Strategic Planning/ Potential Diversification
