Additional Analysis and Consulting
Medical Staff Development
Physician and Advanced Practitioner Recruitment Planning must be inexorably linked to the health system’s overall strategy, market growth strategies, and service line strategies. HSG works with health systems to link strategies to relevant market data to create the right workforce development plan.
Provider Needs Analysis
Assessments of provider need support health system recruitment decision making by tailoring data about the providers serving a market and the health systems competing in it.
Market and Service Line Growth Strategy
Profitable top-line growth comes from identifying and seizing opportunities within the market. HSG works with health systems to comprehensively identify and implement strategies at the market and service line level to achieve success.
Primary Care Strategy
Primary Care is the “evergreen” strategy – one that prospers in a Fee-for-Service or Fee-for-Value market, and one that ensures continued operational and financial sustainability through the attraction and retention of patient lives.
