How healthy is your practice? A surprising number of medical practices have difficultly answering this question. Today there is ever increasing stress caused by insurance contract negotiations, payor mix, liability insurance premiums, employee issues, regulatory compliance, and the list goes on and on. Progress USA has developed a Practice Vitality Check-up® designed to determine the strengths and weaknesses of your practice. We will review your specific goals and expectations and offer concrete approaches and actions to make sure they are being met. Each Practice Vitality Check-up® will:

• Assess your practice to determine what is limiting your efficiency, productivity, and profitability.
• Provide you with a personal one-on-one evaluation of your practice's organization, operations, HR, and compensation structures.
• Recommend ways to improve administrative, clinical, and provider performance while maintaining work/life balance.
• Identify potential threats and recommendations for emergency recovery should a disaster occur.
• Identify potential opportunities for incremental revenue sources.
• Examine processes and procedures for adherence to regulatory requirements.
