Quantifying the Qualitative – Community Needs Documentation for Physician Recruitment
Raritan, NJ – September 3, 2014 – iContracts, a leading provider of solutions for managing corporate contracts, commitments, and compliance today announced the company will partner with AmeriMed Consulting, a Texas-based healthcare planning firm, to host a webinar focused on community needs documentation for physician recruitment and how iContracts Universal Contract Manager can streamline this process. The webinar, presented by Jennifer Moody, Managing Principal for AmeriMed Consulting, is scheduled for Wednesday, September 10 at 4:00 PM EST.
Proactive physician manpower planning is a critical part of any successful hospital’s strategy. Several issues have emerged in recent years that together underscore the necessity for a comprehensive process that ensures that appropriate assessment takes place prior to contracting with new providers.
The webinar will explore the need for a standardized evaluation process for identifying and documenting needs via a formalized medical staff development planning process. Discussion topics will include how to gather substantive information, analyze legally-appropriate data, and ensure that needs are adequately documented throughout the life cycle of physician contracting.
Key benefits & learning objectives of the webinar include:
- Discuss why large groups, hospitals, and healthcare systems should have a standardize process for assessment of physician needs.
- Identify potential Federal compliance issues that can be encountered during the needs assessment and physician recruitment processes and how to adequately document those in the contracting process.
- Outline the types of need that can exist and learn how to qualify and quantify all types of need with sufficient documentation.
- Demonstrate how Universal Contract Manager can streamline this process.
