Staff is the largest practice expense category and effective management of staff is essential in today's medical practice.

  • Staffing expense to collections ratios

Selecting the right staff for the right position is a skill honed over years of experience.

  • Writing and placement of advertisements
  • Postcard notification of receipt of resumes
  • Screening of resumes
  • Preliminary interviewing
  • Interviewing final candidates with physicians
  • Reference checks
  • Salary and benefits recommendations
  • Employment contracts
  • Notification to applicants of filled position

Morale and Team Building : Disgruntled and unhappy staff members can cause the practice to lose patients, lose excellent staff members, increase malpractice exposure and cause compliance problems. Rejuvenation of staff morale and effective team building can attract new patients, new referral sources, retain valuable staff and create a harmonious, pleasant work environment.

  • Interview staff members to determine problem areas
  • Summary report to the physicians
