Not only do we provide the cardiologists, they pride themselves on patient improvement, beside manner, and community outreach.
We already have a cardiologist:
Many, if not most, of our regional hospitals currently have a cardiologist on staff. For us, that’s great! Whether they are under full employ or a privately contracted group or individual, we follow your lead on our approach to the working relationship created when partnering with CVC. Our promised coverage and resources are to our clients. We know all hospitals and organizations have their own unique set-up and challenges. Our experienced cardiologists know how to fluctuate among different client and team needs. Not only do we know how to fill in, we know how to compliment your existing staff through full or partial support, diagnostics and intervention discussion, coverage, and patient care. Your group will feel at ease with more help on hand that is there for assistance, not competition.
Locums VS Cardiovascular Consultants:
We know that locum tenens groups offer necessary and desired components to your team. Consider CVC as an extension of the services you might currently receive, or have received in the past from, locum providers. However, our product is superior in the fact that we aren’t just a stop-gap firm. Our providers assimilate with your team, take stock in your reputation, look at your hospital as a partner, and seek ways to improve your service lines as well as patient care. Not only do we provide coverage 365 days a year, 24 hours a day, we offer community outreach to help with brand equity and your hospital’s reputation. Your victories are shared not only with your team, your patients, and your revenue, but also with our providers. Your success is our success!
ROI: When will we see it?
Our typical impact on ROI can typically be seen within a short 30-60 day window. Since you will no longer be sending patients to other facilities, you can rest assured you will see a change in your top-line revenue along with your reimbursement rates. Tipping past the honeymoon period, the next three months will have a major impact on your ROI. Stick with us a year and you would be amazed at the improvement seen by your cardiology department ALONG with the bottom line for the entire hospital and all of its departments.
Catered Service Lines:
Not only do we understand that all hospitals programs vary, we have the experienced professionals that can assess your current capabilities, but also work with them, improve them, or grow them based on your hospital’s budget. We know all hospitals have their own dynamics, culture, and program nuances, which is why working with CVC isn’t really working, it is improving your current program and in return building brand equity among providers and patients in your community. Starting with team leaders and moving onto staff, we conduct a thorough survey process that allows CVC to CUSTOM build a package specifically designed for the needs of your cardio team.
Patient Results:
Patients with chest pain can’t afford to wait. Partnering with CVC will allow you to provide positive outcomes in as little as one day. Offering that, along with the specialist needed to diagnose AND perform interventional procedures right within your hospital, more of your revenue will stay in-house. If your hospital doesn’t currently have an interventional status, Cardiovascular Consultants can help build that reputation. We do this through utilization of your existing equipment, expanding your current service lines and programs, or providing mobile cath labs. All of this, paired with community outreach is proven to return trust of care back to your community.
Getting Started:
Pending the state location of your hospital, some facilities will be utilizing our services as soon as the agreement can be set up with your hospital. Other locations may take a bit more time pending state licensure of physicians within our group. That process time can vary by state. Once we have the primary agreement in place, we will assess your current cardiology program, your desire to grow or simply to provide the services your cath lab is set up for, and arrange a strategy designed to impact your growth, community reputation, patient services, and complete coverage.
Cost: Angioplasty (PCI) vs Diagnostics
Hospitals that only offer diagnostics are missing out on the revenue created by angioplasty (PCI: percutaneous coronary intervention). While these costs differ by state, extending your existing services may significantly increase your department revenue in a very brief period of time.
Marketing & Community Outreach Services:
The marketing and outreach strategy offered by CVC is unmatched and will almost immediately affect your hospital in a positive manner. Working closely with our marketing team and your emergency and primary care doctors, we offer a turnkey presence to help with awareness among your staff and community. We also provide these folks with access to us through face-to-face exchange of contact information and question answering. Getting to know someone builds trust, and when it comes to health care services, those relationships can be fragile. We know meeting us in person helps build report and confidence in the services offered by CVC.
We also consider team partnerships for community sponsored events suck as a 5k or other health advocated services. Our cardiologists believe in results and those don’t just happen bedside. Many results start with your patients choosing your organization for health care. We help build your reputation within the community by partnering with you every step of the way to total health.
