OVERVIEW

HSG partnered with a Southern Hospital to build a Regional Growth Strategy, focused on expanding their geographic footprint. This included increasing its provider compliment, working collaboratively with its clinical affiliation partner, and responding to competitive pressures from regional and tertiary competitors.

CLIENT QUICK FACTS

  • Based in Southern U.S.
  • 188-bed acute care hospital
  • 50+ employed providers
  • $330M net revenue
  • Client since: 2019

We were very pleased with the work of HSG on our strategic manpower plan. What differentiated them from other consultants was their engagement with the steering group. They facilitated great discussions, members of the group felt they were heard, and that improved the quality of the plan and created greater ownership. In addition, HSG’s analytics were very good and provided a lot of insights that helped us shape the plan.

CHALLENGES

Southern Hospital had grown rapidly following its partnership in the mid 2010s. While their market still had some independent practices, the employed network and partner’s presence in the market had grown substantially. The competitive dynamics with regional competitors in a market with an attractive payer mix fueled the need for

continued growth. The organization needing a coordinated growth and manpower development plan – to ensure that the overall organization’s provider needs were being met and that future growth strategy wouldn’t be hindered by a lack of access to key specialties.

the organization and eliminated gaps in the
organization’s ability to execute its strategy from a
manpower perspective. The plansoutcomes included:
