Treatment Expertise

Substance Use Disorder Treatment

Whether you provide detox, residential, or outpatient IOP and PHP , we have solutions to help you maintain compliance with licensing regulations and accrediting standards. Our staff are intimately familiar with SAMHSA, Joint Commission, and payer requirements surrounding these levels of care.

We can get you licensed and accredited, and help you implement processes, staffing models, and curriculum to get the best outcomes for your patients.

Primary & Specialty Care

In today’s healthcare payment environment, primary & specialty care has been especially impacted by leveled fee-for-service rates and slow-to-market value-based payment contracts. Add in more complicated coding and documentation requirements, and the need to decrease costs and streamline processes has become more pivotal than ever.

We understand the squeeze these complications create on your business and use a lean-informed method to decrease costs, time, and effort needed to maximize deliverables and reimbursement rates.

Behavioral & Mental Health

The need for effective mental and behavioral health treatment has been highlighted over recent years. Throughout the spectrum of levels of care, it is important to simplify the administrative side of this business in order to provide the highest quality care possible.

Our expertise in lean process improvement is tailor made for ensuring continuous quality improvement in all levels of behavioral and mental healthcare. We specialize in staffing management and behavioral process development to solve to most troublesome problems.

 

Social & Human Services

One of the things that have been shown to help in true outcomes measurements is assisting people with their “social determinants of health.” Social services and direct human services providers like food pantries, homeless shelters, domestic violence shelters, transitional living facilities, and social services organizations play a direct role in positively affecting the social determinants of health people experience day in and day out.

Although many are “non-profit” that does not mean the can run as “no profit,” meaning these organizations do need a positive margin in order to exist and help the people they help. Our expert associates use the most modern and effective efficiency and lean standards to help minimize the costs to run these organizations and actually create the operating margin necessary to fulfill their purpose.
