The pandemic has created a drain on middle management in many markets, leaving healthcare organizations struggling with the void in practice management. A lack of talented and experienced managers to lead and implement various projects is slowing the potential progress in physician networks.   

In this environment, the staffing needs of health system leaders are varied. Requests include help with:  

• Transitioning to a newly acquired large practice.
• Training office/network staff to increase production and throughput.
• Implementing provider-based billing.
• Enhancing and stabilizing service line offerings.
• Building data management infrastructure to bolster management strategic decision-making.

This session will provide tips on how to effectively utilize on-site interim project managers to keep strategic focus in a challenging environment.

Learning Objectives:

• Identify key projects where additional resources could accelerate progress toward filling gaps in physician network practice management.
• Describe how to scope requests for assistance in physician network practice management.
