KNOXVILLE, Tenn., June 18, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --
WHAT:
Third-party purchased services
represent nearly 25 percent of a
healthcare organization's annual spend.
Vendor reviews, contract negotiations,
systems implementations and ongoing
management of these third-party
services is often disconnected and
unorganized. The result? Wasted time
and dollars for healthcare
organizations.
The challenge of disjointed decision-
making is particularly hard to overcome
in physician practice settings where
decentralized purchasing is the norm.
At Piedmont Healthcare, in fact, more
than 12 different vendors provided
after-hours or 24/7 answering services
to physicians.
By converting the third-party
purchasing of physician answering
services from siloed decision-making
to an organized and consolidated
project, Piedmont Healthcare discovered
an untapped source of savings. Vizient
consultants worked together with
Piedmont Healthcare physician
leadership and PerfectServe's clinical
communication experts to develop a best
practice for purchased services across
all of Piedmont's owned practices.
In this complimentary webinar hosted by
PerfectServe(R), Ryan Bowcut and Mark
Ferraro explain how Piedmont
Healthcare, one of Georgia's fast-
growing health systems, improved the
quality of its physician answering
services while also reducing purchase
costs and hidden fees.
Attendees will learn:
- Four key success factors in consolidating purchased services
- Piedmont Healthcare's step-wise approach in consolidating after-hours answering services across physician practices
- After-hours answering services compared to an enterprise communication and care team collaboration strateg
Ryan Bowcut, Executive Director
