Health care organizations must identify the right amount and type of physician specialties to operate effectively in the markets they serve with the goals of optimizing clinical performance as the focus on value-based care and population health management intensifies.

Learn more about how SullivanCotter partnered with Stanford Health Care to develop a comprehensive strategy and program to maximize utilization, support optimization and enhance engagement for its growing APP workforce. 

Care delivery optimization between health systems and their affiliated hospitals, integrated practices, and physician and advanced practice provider (APP) workforces can promote financial sustainability by identifying gaps in care delivery, improving operational efficiency, reducing clinical variation, and expanding capacity for important growth initiatives.

Hospitals and health systems nationwide continue to face a number of urgent financial and workforce challenges amidst an evolving global pandemic. As organizations look for ways to increase access and manage recovering patient volumes, transform operations and ensure financial stability, focusing on the optimization of the care delivery team is imperative.

Managing provider performance and compensation has grown increasingly complex, and many organizations lack the proper tools and technology to support this process. To help uncover opportunities for improvement, we facilitated a series of focus groups with hospitals, health systems and medical groups ranging in size from 500 - 2,000 providers.

Developed in cooperation with Mayo Clinic, Provider Performance Management Technology™ is an industry-first, cloud-based solution that enables provider engagement and alignment through transparent performance-based compensation administration and analytical capabilities.

In order to remain competitive in an increasingly complex and uncertain environment, health care organizations must develop total rewards programs that align executive and physician leadership talent, consider market trends and benchmarks, and support performance objectives.
