CENTRE Health Partners (CHP) is built upon the central focus of improving operational and competitive competencies within healthcare organizations. We have access to levels of experience and competitive information allowing us to add significant value through the development of custom sets of operating metrics and benchmarking analyses. CHP's capacity to assess and tailor-fit programs of performance improvement additionally extends to all facets of revenue cycle management, from initial performance review and issues assessment to implementation of the administrative controls necessary to optimize cash flow and operating results. You know that Cash is King. With the correct guidance, your healthcare organization can realize more cash in its operating accounts.

Most healthcare organizations struggle to operate in a manner yielding year-over-year profit improvement. The changing face of healthcare with reimbursement, technology, and other external forces prevents most healthcare companies from operating at peak efficiency. With the right tools, healthcare organizations can adjust to their changing environments and realize year-over-year improvements.

The scope of services that CHP can provide to clients seeking to improve their operations include:

• Operating Metrics Analysis and Benchmarking. Our firm can assess your organization, efficiently determine where it resides, and then develop benchmarks to assist it to achieve its full potential. This process yields higher operating results and better patient care.
• Net Revenue Performance Reviews. Most healthcare organizations do not routinely review their policies and procedures, processes, charge description master, technology utilization, and the manner in which they generate billings/collections. A breakdown in any one of these areas could be detrimental to your organization. CHP reviews each of these processes in detail and identifies areas for improvement.
• Limited Scope Reviews. In certain instances, clients are concerned about only a specific segment of their healthcare operation. CHP consultants can "carve out" these areas of concern and recommend opportunities for improvement. Frequently, CHP is requested to implement recommendations.
• Center for Medicare Services (CMS) 23 Day Termination Notifications. Our firm can provide experienced consultants to not only respond but also assist with the corrective action process. More importantly, once the plan is accepted by the CMS, CHP can provide the on-going monitoring of the processes to ensure compliance.
• Capital Planning (CapEx). Competitive pressures such as maintaining technological advantage or upgrading physical plant capacity can sometimes lead health care organizations to over leverage and under plan strategically. Over time this will lead to potentially disastrous results.? Only by merging together an appropriate capital replacement cycle, rigorously defined criteria for new capital initiatives, and an understanding of related working capital impacts can organizations match programmatic expectations with manageable long term growth.
  All successful organizations will ultimately match their long term growth in assets with their long term growth in equity - defining a comprehensive asset management plan and an appropriate process of resource allocation to accomplish this goal is instrumental to ensuring organizational success. CENTRE Health Partners can facilitate the strategic planning of organizational debt management and ultimately help organizations view their potential capacity for growth as an ongoing risk management process.

The outcome of the operations improvement process will result in better financial and operational performance. Please refer to our Case Studies for further information about how CHP can help your organization achieve stronger financial and operational strength.
