Physician Clinics & Oncology Practices

A New Paradigm for Partnership

Talk to most oncology physicians today and you’ll hear them questioning what their oncology practice will look like within the new era of health reform and cost containment. Most are asking: What options are available to me, as an individual practitioner,
or to my practice as oncology evolves in the 21st Century?

For most, the answers to these questions will be unique to each physician’s/group’s local and regional oncology politics. While there are more definitive legal and regulatory guidelines for structuring partnership alternatives, there are always individual practice environmental, operational and financial characteristics that foreshadow the ultimate decision and conclusive model for the practice.

Throughout Oncology Solutions 1,600+ engagements, we actively work with oncologists and referring physicians when determining the most equitable avenue towards development of cancer programs and services in partnership with local hospitals, physicians and payers. Our in-depth operational knowledge of medical, radiation and surgical practices, compensation models and succession planning lends a very exclusive perspective when delivering recommendations that are sustainable.

Unlike many consultants who only have the medical institution’s best interest in mind, Oncology Solutions distinctively understands that the most successful cancer care delivery models are physician-led and collaboratively engineered. Our unique service offerings for physicians and practices include:

• revenue cycle and operational re-design to maximize efficiency and financial return
• hospital-physician alignment analysis, negotiation and implementation
• oncology service line co-management arrangements with hospital providers
• new practice start-up services, including EMR procurement assistance
• facilities design, development and equipment procurement guidance
• multidisciplinary cancer disease team design and development

Oncology Solutions recognizes that oncology practices may resemble fingerprints from afar but, when closely investigated, each has its own distinguishing characteristics. Don’t trust your practice’s future to any general consultant. We are the oncology experts, intimately involved with designing the “right fit” solution for your practice, given the uniqueness of your personal cancer care environment. Contact us to discuss your individual situation and how we can be of assistance with crafting a strategy for renewed practice success and future direction.
