HOW WE HELP

How can we help the $200,000 physician?

Most established physicians are over 40 years old, and have already adopted a life style that is difficult for anyone to change – including us. In many cases, however, we must ask these physicians to reconsider everything they know about practice and personal effectiveness.

We might ask them to reflect hard on their situations. Often this self-examination, alone, gives them a new and valuable point of view about their practice, because it shows them ways to improve.

Most physicians at this stage, have an office environment they are proud of, a high-quality, dedicated, and loyal support staff, plus a level of patient service and quality that is second to none.

In an era of declining reimbursement, with a heightened emphasis on quality improvement, these physicians have a great deal to lose and the most to gain.

Our job, once we have clarified their objectives, is to create a rational and structured plan that builds on strengths.

The recommendations we submit could include ideas to improve service quality, ways to boost productivity and efficiency, methods to restructure overhead, techniques to re-align support staff duties and a number of suggestions on how to get the most out of every day, effortlessly, while improving service and quality of life.

...We help you have perfect days.

How can we help the $600,000 Physician?

This physician often doesn’t know as much about practice success as people think they do. What they know is cardiovascular surgery, or diagnosing upper GI problems, keeping patients and referring physicians ecstatic, or the newest breakthrough.

So the physician who appears to be there, already knows what it takes, but also knows how much better it can be. What they want more of is quality of life, time off, a hassle-free environment, and yes, a more secure financial future.

They spend more time with their administration than they would like to, but most of the activity is done on a piecemeal basis. They often do not have a clear and integrated plan for their future.

Our initial step with this physician is the same as our approach with the lower-earning physician: help him define his objectives and aspirations. He may have thought about them, vaguely. We help him crystallize them.

When these objectives have been isolated, our job is to recommend the quickest and safest ways of meeting them. We do this, in many cases, by showing him opportunities he is unaware of, ideas that hadn’t occurred to him, and processes he didn’t know existed.

We find a surprising number of physicians in this category who are apparently content to have a modest office, mediocre help, two weeks off, and $500,000 in the bank. Period. They could have so much more and be so much happier.

We help this physician work much smarter and we leverage his time and his practice effectively, while he is at the prime of his power and energy.

...We help you work more effectively

The Ones We Can't Help

For every ten inquiries we receive, about six eventually become actively involved with the International Council for Quality Care, Inc. process. The others, in our opinion, would not be well served by working with us.

Some of these are people who do not have the courage to make the tough decisions, or possess the determination necessary to commit to being the best that they can be.

Some are people with a history of “starting over,” who will never stick to a recommended program of action for more than a week or two.

Some suffer from interrelated personal-practice-financial problems so severe that no amount of counsel will be of significant benefit.

But the chances are still six in ten that we can help you make it, better than you ever dreamed of making it before.

...Aren’t those better odds than you have right now?

"This is an excellent course that takes you from strategy to execution and gives you practical ways for physicians to take responsibility for their practice. My time was well-spent and the presenters were superb and right on target. "

If you only can attend one meeting, this is the one to attend. The setting is spectacular, the facilities are first class and the presenters are both experienced and entertaining. It does not get much better than this. Bring someone special along, take in some R&R. You’ll love this fabulous Getaway.
