Provider Performance Improvement
Providing quality care at reduced costs
Which is more impactful to an athlete’s success: training or will to win? Clearly it’s the combination of both. With the Affordable Care Act’s (ACA’s) major provisions taking effect in 2014, health care provider organizations are being challenged in new ways to enhance performance—for each patient and for the organization. Given lower reimbursement rates across the board, dramatically increased administrative requirements, and the anticipated flood of new patients, provider performance will require a potent combination of operational transformation and focused leadership aimed at providing quality care at reduced costs.
Performance driven
Deloitte’s Provider Performance Improvement practice works with administrators and clinicians in their efforts to reduce operating costs, improve margins, and still deliver quality care. Our focus is on helping providers create sustained operational excellence through transformative changes to their infrastructure. With experienced clinicians on staff—specialists who have helped leading hospitals and health care systems transform their operations—we apply effective practices, tools, and training to help our clients elevate the delivery of cost-effective patient care and help make the operational changes stick.
