Healthcare Management Services Mission

Provide healthcare operations management services to ensure long-term profitability and viability of various healthcare ventures.

Hospital and Surgery Center Management and Consulting

Our focus is to be successful in each venture we team on. This process ideally begins during the initial ASC or Hospital Development phase. It is not our goal to manage dozens of centers and do it poorly; rather we focus on a few to make them exceptional. Occasionally, we will accept both ASC and Hospital Consulting engagements when an organization may find themselves with expenses exceeding the revenue and are in need of operational or clinical turn-around strategies and assistance.

Working with our clients and their staff, we place quality and efficiency at the forefront of all our engagements. Combining these principles with our proven ability to execute, monitor, and measure a plethora of small but essential details, makes Clarity Management and Consulting Services a one stop shop for development and project sizing, physician recruitment, syndication, equipment planning, patient volume growth strategies, cost containment, and continuous process improvement initiatives.

Clarity Consultants can assist in improving or reinventing the perception of your center with our “five-star experience program for stakeholders.” We do this by flow charting every step of a stakeholder process and evaluating best approaches. National experience at multiple site locations have allowed us to witness some of the best run healthcare entities – as the same time we have observed some of the worst. Knowing what “TO” do and what “NOT” to do may seem fundamental; but is frequently misperceived. Little changes can make big changes while also making services more convenient and less expensive; placing an emphasis on personal service and the patient environment; providing predictability of the scheduling process; on-time starts, appropriate supplies on hand, pulled and placed; and OR turnover. We teach the center staff to over-communicate to physicians; patients and each other’s showing the result will be more productive and rewarding than under communicating.

By treating all of the people involved in every transaction as true teaming partners, it reduces risk and increases the reward. This model is built upon solid relationships, good partners and hard work. Everyone that contributes to a successful venture shares in the reward.

Healthcare Management Services Philosophy

We believe in the definition of healthcare philosophy as the study of the ethics, processes, and people which constitute the maintenance of health for human beings. Today, healthcare is recognized as an all-encompassing experience that takes place within a healing, comforting environment with atmosphere. The selection of the building site itself, its design, the construction process, and operational processes are the foundation to providing care for today’s professionals and patients. This process is supported by a diverse network of people who influence everything from patient care to employee satisfaction.

“The quality of management companies differs substantially across the board. However, a center planned and executed by an intelligent and strong management company still has a much greater chance at success than a physician only center or a center planned without a management company or with a poor management company.” Quote by Scott Becker, esquire, McGuire Woods

Clarity Health Managing, Re-Branding, Re-Vitalizing and Re-Inventing

Clarity Health has a developed program to assist groups or facilities that would benefit from additional expertise to reach higher goals. We manage new facilities and re-brand, re-vitalize and re-invent existing facilities. If you have a hospital or ambulatory surgery center that should be performing at an elevated level, Clarity Health can assist with identifying opportunities and creating efficiencies toward improved performance. The revitalization process begins with an on-site audit and analysis of your facility operations by Clarity Health team members. We will review everything from the business office practices to your clinical operations, from the point of supply entry to billing supplies consumed. This site visit is followed by a deliverable detailing a proposed action plan for improvement.
