OSM SmartStart
OSM SmartStart is a systematic approach using proven methods for physicians starting a new practice or joining a group including:
- A thorough business start-up template by Management Services has been developed after analysis of existing guides from many organizations.
- A dedicated practice consultant is made available to guide the practice through the business start. This person works via phone conferences, rapid response 800 number and site visits.
- Practice business plan preparation which typically are not developed by new practices. Tracking and reporting against plan benchmarks within that business plan throughout the first year. Not only is this plan developed with input from the practice but it is then tracked to assure the practice stays on schedule and does not miss key elements.
- The system approach ensures that the right decisions are made early on. This approach gets physicians off to a great start, avoids early business errors and helps physicians reach financial potential faster. A small mistake early on can cost the practice many thousands of dollars.
- Significant major practice compliance needs are addressed through a formal program fostering personalization of these tools for each practice. HIPAA, OSHA, Fraud and Abuse, regulatory concerns are all addressed. These items alone can cost a practice thousands of dollars per year.
- Specific practice needs and questions are addressed as they occur, personally and rapidly. Support tools such as, reference materials, needed vendors, and statistics will be located and sent out to the practice as needed.
- Management Services describes OSM SmartStart as an "insurance program" for practice viability since OSM SmartStart gives the practice improved opportunity for success.
