Implementing Provider-Based Billing Clinics: Management & Funds Flow
Tuesday, July 17, 2012 | 10:00 am - 11:30 am PT
In addition to offering reimbursement advantages, a clinic’s designation as provider-based enables greater integration and care coordination between the hospital and physicians, allowing for higher-quality, seamless patient care. The operational disadvantages that can accompany provider-based arrangements are often the result of the poor design and implementation of ambulatory clinic management and funds flow structures. The implementation of provider-based status has a significant impact on existing financial performance and governance, which needs to be mitigated between the physicians and hospital. Successful provider-based arrangements must integrate not only finances but also governance, management, and operations.
During this Webinar, the fourth in a five-part series, we will focus on how to develop the most appropriate management and funds flow model for the implementation of provider-based billing clinics.
Specific learning objectives:
- The importance of developing a management and funds flow model.
- The range of funds flow models available for provider-based clinics and the opportunities and challenges associated with each model.
- The potential management models for provider-based clinics and an overview of each model.
- The factors to consider in determining the most appropriate models for an organization.
