HEALTHCARE CONSULTANCY
HEALTHCARE CONSULTANCY
Preventive medicine has evolved from communicable disease control to total risk management in healthcare. The risk in healthcare industry is not just limited to the patients but also to the patient care infrastructure and human resources. Failure of risk management in any of the these three areas can cripple any healthcare organization. A pandemic outbreak of a very communicable killer disease has the potential to cripple global economy as both patients and frontline providers experience high morbidity and mortality rates. Shortage of manpower and business closures to limit disease transmission ultimately lead to serious crippling political and socioeconomic problems. So, the preventive medicine practitioner now has the huge responsibility of managing money, men and materials like corporate chief executives in other industries. Healthcare consultants play a big role in helping onsite practice and facility mangers to cope with the rapidly evolving changes in the health services management and healthcare regulations.

Healthcare Organizational Development
Healthcare Organizational Development
Setting up a medical practice or a long term care facility from the scratch can be very intimidating. But with the help of Drotumdio consultants, the whole process can be broken down into manageable phases and stages. We first sit down with the investors or partners to hear exactly what they have in mind regarding their proposed facility. During strategic planning meetings, we ask about their goals and expectations for the facility, how big or small they want to start and where they see themselves in the next five to ten years.

During strategic planning meetings, we ask about their goals and expectations for the facility, how big or small they want to start and where they see themselves in the next five to ten years.
We also ask about who they perceive as their competitors and how much of the niche market they intend to dominate eventually. We find out how they intend to source their capital for the entire project, and the projected startup capital. We look into how they intend to manage the organization in terms of chain of command, we ask them about their profit sharing or investment plan as well as their tax payment plans. At the end of this brainstorming meeting, we schedule follow-up meetings to review the policy documents we present to them based on the strategic planning meetings.

At the end of this brainstorming meeting, we schedule follow-up meetings to review the policy documents we present to them based on the strategic planning meetings.
We present them a mission statement or slogan, a vision, and a goal statement. Once they have edited and approved the policy document, we proceed to long-term budget production to be reviewed at our next meeting. We basically attach numbers to the goals, objectives, and action plans. Based of the projected startup capital and capital sourcing costs, we begin to sort expenses into operating, non-operating, and capital expenses. We make a projections of break-even operating revenues, and use that to determine appropriate fees for services.

We then go ahead to figure out how many employees can be employed to generate the break-even revenue with a little profit margin in the first three to five years. When the stakeholders accept the proposed balance sheet for the first three to five years, they then have to appoint a chief execute officer to start implementing the agreed phases and steps. We visit the chief execute and project manager on monthly basis to keep track of the actual expenses in comparison to the budget projections.

This is where we make sure that the chief executive is applying reasonable budgetary controls to minimize wastes and risks. Once the infrastructure has been developed and the organization takes off, we switch over to the provider management mode.

Healthcare Human Resources Development and Management
Healthcare Human Resources Development and Management
While the management of money, men, and materials has never been easy, the toughest aspect of business management is human resources management. It is even worse so in the healthcare industry with its heavy regulatory constraints. Drotumdio consultants have onsite experience in staffing healthcare facilities. We know firsthand, that it takes at least one month to properly replace a care provider even at the lowest level.

Even when a prospective employee is professionally qualified, the facility administrator or human resources manager, is required to do a state or nationwide background check in addition to DHS background check. To start training the new hire, pending the result of the background check, he/she has to be paired with another employee, at a time when the unit is already short-staffed. If the background check result is bad, the new hire is relieved of his/her duty on the spot, and the search for a replacement continues.

During this search period the marginally staffed facility remains out of regulatory compliance, and prays that nothing bad happens that make that a big issue. But Drotumdio consultants will not encourage marginal staffing. We look at the facility balance sheet and advise the administrator on how many employees the budget can carry and still break even. Usually that allows for up to 25% backup staffing. The surplus employees in one unit are cross-trained to worked in related units like pediatrics and obs/gyn.

This makes it easy to pull in a fully qualified and trained staff at short notice to fill in for sick or injured employee. On the job injury claims rank second to legal losses in healthcare facilities. As such risk management is a huge part of human resources management. This means that employees must be properly trained in ergonomics, which is knowing how to perform their jobs without injury. Employees must also be monitored to ensure that they are not taking unnecessary risks at work.

They must also know to report on the job injuries to their supervisors as soon they occur. Unit managers must be quick to report on the job injuries reported to them to human resource department. HR understands how best to deal with SAIF on workman compensation issues. Drotumdio consultants help onsite managers to properly manage this intricate area of their job.

Healthcare IT Management
Healthcare IT Management
Managing IT in health facilities is a huge part of what we do to achieve regulatory compliance. Starting from secure telephone communication as appointments are made for provider visits to secure storage of the information gathered during the encounter and during treatment period, a lot of careful monitoring goes into making sure that the privacy of patients is not compromised.

Automatic systems are put in place to limit access to patient information to only specific providers who have professional need to know. Every possible effort is made to protect both personal and financial information of clients from being hacked through health facility websites. IT software and computers used in healthcare facilities are carefully disposed of to avoid inadvertent delivery of hard drives with vital patient information into the hands of cyber criminals.

The healthcare industry is the second most heavily regulated in the US. Health services managers have had to go to jail for regulatory lapses not directly caused by them, but by employees under their supervision. Medical practices have had to fold because of overwhelming legal losses.

Others must have it locked and coded at all times. The inside temperature must not exceed 70-72 degrees F. The current operating license of the facility must be displayed at the front lobby. The facility manager's license must also be displayed at the front lobby.

Drotumdio consultants would normally establish concrete and measurable goals with time lines of where the organization should be at various points over a ten year period. Part of our compliance monitoring is to see that all the measurable goals are being reported and documented on a continuous basis.

Since facility census has a lot to do with meeting the revenue projections, most chief executive or chief finance officers will keep an ongoing chart of facility census in their offices, so as to get an early warning of a downtrend and investigate it. Risk management can also be a killer for any healthcare organization, from law suite payments to on the job injury claims. The CFO therefore keeps an eye how much is paid out monthly to legal fees and fines, as well as disability claims.

While monthly tracking of measurable goals and objectives, may be useful for financial and management controls, it is the yearly aggregates of the data that tells the stakeholders whether the vision of the organization is actually being followed. Significant disparities in projected vision and actual outcomes, usually call for strategic review and policy adjustments.
