EXPERIENCED EXECUTIVE LEVEL CONSULTANTS
MEMA’s Physician Practice Management and Business Development Consultants are seasoned healthcare professionals who have deep and broad experience in the management and development of medical practices. In addition that experience extends to healthcare enterprises ranging from acute care hospitals, to ambulatory surgery centers (ASC), to diagnostic imaging facilities, and healthcare information technology companies. As a result, our consultants are able to draw upon this experience to factor in the impact of external healthcare service delivery organizations on the problems we address and the solutions we offer to our physician clients within their particular healthcare service market.
CONSULTANT ORIENTATION AND “HANDS ON” APPROACH
MEMA’s Consultants also understand the nature of the consulting business and have honed the required analytical skills and business judgment necessary for success as well as the willingness to roll-up our sleeves and provide the attention to detail required to maintain momentum and efficiency in reaching workable solutions for our client physician practices. These skills include, among other things, the ability to support clients at the most basic level of project execution. We work alongside with the managers & employees of our physician practice clients to understand their organization, services delivery and work processes at the most basic level.
We have comprehensive understanding of and experience with a broad range of Practice Management, Surgery Center Management and related Patient Accounting Software programs to swiftly assess and correct information management deficiencies which are typically at the root of both operational and financial management deficiencies within the medical office. Our related knowledge of and experience with scheduling, charge entry, receipts entry, accounts receivable management, fee schedules and managed care contracting enables us to correct and maximize the billing and collections function and revenue cycle management. We also understand purchasing and accounts payable management, accounting systems, payroll systems, accounting controls, supplies and inventory management to ask the right questions and easily identify weak links that cause physician practices to erode profits through ineffective cost management.
CONSULTANT TEAM APPROACH AND TIMELY PROJECT COMPLETION
MEMA’s Consultants also understand that the demands of serving multiple clients requires a team approach. Each of our Consultants has developed and applied standard business analysis skills, organizational assessment techniques and intervention strategies that are generic in nature, but necessary to effect the organizational changes typically required by our clients. These standardized skill sets allow each of our Consultants to capably serve multiple projects regardless of variety. In addition, we regularly document key tasks and accomplishments on client projects and communicate among ourselves so that, as a team, we can assure timely and correct project execution for each client. When a client engages MEMA for a project, they have effectively engaged a team of interchangeable professionals to support their unique requirements while maintaining continuity toward project completion.
