Much like the rest of the world, nowadays businesses in the Gulf region are under constant pressure to streamline their businesses and operate faster, reliably and more cost efficiently. The key to success lies in the ability to efficiently process information found in thousands and sometimes millions of documents which enter and leave a company each year. Information needs to be processed internally and then managed in the normal course of business operations. Given the fact that this flood of information is often met with a lengthy and error-prone manual process, the enormous potential for optimization is evident. The following article highlights how critical the automation of business processes are and how global businesses, including Abu Dhabi Gas Industries Ltd, GASCO, have benefited from solutions offered by the market leader Kofax. Optimization - A dynamic and critical process Every company defines it's business process according to how its products and services will be developed, purchased or offered in order to then present them profitably in the market. To put it another way - business processes describe the core business and largely determine success or failure. The optimization of these processes therefore plays a critical part in the ability to compete: the more automated, cost effective and error-free processes are executed, the cheaper and higher the quality of the products and services offered. Not only are business end users satisfied, but so are all people and entities involved in the value added process. With companies finding themselves in a constantly changing environment, it is not enough to just analyze the business processes once and take appropriate optimization measures. Global businesses are being forced to adapt to changing market conditions such intensifying competition and increasingly sophisticated and mature end-users, who require fast information on product and service portfolios. Businesses need to adapt to these changing conditions to gain a competitive advantage which they then need to maintain and expand. Business process optimization is not a static but a dynamic process, and all possible solutions should not only be a resolution to a current challenge, but should also represent possible future scenarios. As every business process is based on information, available in numerous formats and diverse mediums, any approach to business process optimisation will have to deal with the central issue of: How can one - by deploying the least effort and adopting the safest, fastest and easiest way - provide all people involved in the value added process with real-time, relevant information? And how can one make sure of this for the future? In other words how can all incoming information, irrespective of format, ideally be processed so that all in-house staff (Management, Marketing, Sales, Services and Back office functions, in particular Accounting) and external entities (suppliers, contractors, auditors and clients) have access to the data they currently require? In this context, the manual way of processing is ineffective. It is far too slow, costly and error-prone. It is just not possible to react and act upon the ever more restrictive legal requirements regarding the traceability and transparency of all business information, or deliver prompt responses to customer feedback. It takes too long to process incoming invoices, especially if you consider the risk of losing out on cash discounts and the effect on supplier relationships. Just the screening and routing of incoming post means having to dedicate valuable resources, which could be used for much more efficient, value-added tasks. However being able to optimize the processing of information or the automation of business processes is made difficult by one thing: About 80% of all business-relevant information is by nature unstructured. E-mails, various paper documents, phone calls, faxes and a variety of file formats provide a real challenge in terms of effectively carrying out classification, collection and forwarding of the information contained therein. Criteria for Choosing a Solution The current market offers an attractive portfolio of solutions for capturing information and automating business processes. Prior to making a decision to invest, you should examine a number of issues and questions. This will ensure that you are guaranteed the desired future results: What about the integration into heterogeneous, possibly changing enterprise infrastructures and backend systems? Is the proposed solution fast, easy to use and simple to implement in the current business environment? Has the potential supplier demonstrated successful results with the proposed solution in comparable environments? Can the provider give references? Does the potential supplier have close partnerships with manufacturers of ERP, ECM and workflow solutions and hardware vendors? Can concrete statements be made regarding the expected return on investment? Will qualified on-site assistance be guaranteed in the implementation and follow-up? How high, depending on the application area, are the recognition rates on structured, semi-and unstructured documents? Can the future demand for high flexibility and scalability (such as rising volumes or new information channels and media) be ensured? Is the potential supplier able to offer the necessary software, hardware as well as support and service as a single one stop shop? The Solution: Kofax Intelligent Capture & Exchange Thousands of companies and organizations have found the answers to the above questions in the Intelligent Capture & Exchange portfolio offered by Kofax.

Calculable ROI Nucleus Research examined a Kofax solution for automated invoice processing, which was implemented by Corporate Express U.S. Inc., one of the country's largest B2B Office Supplier. Corporate Express had reached their limits with using the traditional manual process. Nucleus calculated the costs of software, hardware, consulting, personnel, and training over a 3-year period to quantify Corporate Express' total investment in Kofax Intelligent Capture & Exchange and counter-calculated all direct and indirect savings, including increased productivity of accounts payable processors and coordinators. These benefits have been quantified and calculated using the average fully loaded cost of employees and multiplied by a productivity correction factor to account for the inefficient transfer of time. The result was an ROI of 99% and a payback within 1.27 years.

Exactly who wants to be the plain vanilla doctor or dentist? Through the years we've spoken to thousands of physicians and other providers, and there isn't a single one who thought he or she had a plain vanilla practice. Each doctor could tell us something unique about his/her work, practice, staff, and office environment. Unfortunately, in most cases, they didn't focus this message into a brand, so, to the public, these doctors remained vanilla.

Exactly who wants to be the plain vanilla doctor or dentist? Through the years we've spoken to thousands of physicians and other providers, and there isn't a single one who thought he or she had a plain vanilla practice. Each doctor could tell us something unique about his/her work, practice, staff, and office environment. Unfortunately, in most cases, they didn't focus this message into a brand, so, to the public, these doctors remained vanilla.

We understand how healthcare and business interact, and our duty is to help you merge the two to produce a very efficient and productive system that improves the health of those you serve.

Electronic Medical Billing

Software to help medical practices manage their finances has been around for decades. However, today's electronic medical billing programs are more accurately called medical practice management software (MPM software), and bears only the most basic resemblance to its older counterparts.

Electronic medical billing software covers a wide range of functions:

• tracking patient demographics, visits, and diagnoses
• collecting, transmitting, and tracking billing information and insurance payments
• managing appointment scheduling
• generating a variety of reports

WANTING a Medical Billing Provider

If you need Medical Billing Services, please feel free to contact us immediately for additional information.

In addition, most medical billing programs will also bring you into compliance with the sections of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) that specify increased security standards, ANSI billing formats, and more. Note that we say "most" - some software may provide only partial HIPAA compliance. You should quiz vendors carefully about the HIPAA compliance of any software you are evaluating, particularly around electronic billing and security measures.

Wide-ranging benefits

Besides HIPAA compliance, there are several other important benefits to be gained from the right electronic medical billing software:

• Improved staff productivity - easy-to-use software improves efficiency
• Increased patient and customer satisfaction - more flexibility in scheduling and better access to personal information
• Faster payment from insurers - paper claims usually take 30 - 60 days, electronic claims are usually paid in 10 - 14 days instead
• Fewer errors in billing and insurance - correct and resubmit in hours, instead of weeks

First, make sure you include the right people in the purchasing process. Physicians, office managers, receptionists, and billing managers will all have different viewpoints and important concerns: taking any major steps towards a purchasing decision without involving every role is likely to lead to problems down the line.

Next, see what practices like yours are choosing. Find offices similar to yours in size and specialty and visit their offices to see the software in action. While this may seem like an obvious tactic, it is highly effective.

Try to find software that matches your specialty and office size by asking these types of questions, as they apply to you:

• Does the system handle scheduling quirks unique to your practice?
• Does the system recognize all the procedure and diagnosis codes your practice uses?
• Can the system handle multiple offices and multiple doctors?
• Can information be accessed from multiple locations?
• Does it include inventory tracking or the ability to manage several separate accounts?

Of course, the best way to compare ease-of-use is to try it yourself. Many vendors allow you to log in to a sample account or will send you a sample CD to let you try out the software: take advantage of these opportunities. Have all the interested parties from your practice go through their most common activities to get a sense of how easy the software is to use - watching "canned" demos does not give you the same in-depth look at the products.

How to choose the right supplier

A successful medical billing software decision includes not only choosing the right software - but choosing the right supplier. Qualified suppliers will listen to your needs during the sales process, help your office run smoothly during and after the transition, and provide the training and support you require.

Point of Care Technology

As healthcare organizations adopt wireless solutions, it is crucial to take advantage of Point-of-Care (POC) technology. Medical grade displays and mobile cart solutions make it easier to access and update patient information, and create a hands-free workflow that streamlines tasks and makes point-of-care more efficient.

• Ease of Motion – Quick adjustment and easily maneuverability at the point-of-care provides:
  • Increased Efficiency: Mobile units support many patients and move with the care providers as they cross the hospital unit, floor or entire facility, and, because critical information is a touch away, healthcare providers don't waste valuable time and effort to retrieve, translate, and analyze data.
  • Improves Patient's Experience: Mobile carts ensure that transitions between settings during the course of a visit are coordinated, healthy, and focused.
  • Facilitates Faster, Safer Treatment: The ability to bring information systems to the patient's bedside creates a better environment for interaction while gathering critical information, and reduces medical errors.

• True Ergonomic Designs – Create a comfortable work environment for employees:
  • Carts or mounts allow care providers to sit or stand, offering flexibility in terms of eye levels, data entry heights, and ease of equipment manipulation.
  • Enables the caregiver to share electronic information and images at the patient's bedside, allowing the patient to view without exertion and physical strain

• Space-Saving Technologies – Place equipment wherever it's needed
  • Mobile carts are compact, easily accessible, and stow quickly when not in use.

Healthcare Provider Relations (HCPR) delivers a variety of cart solutions, integrated with customized features, accessories, and applications to make the job of providing treatment fast, mobile, safe, and accurate.

Choosing a dictation service

 

Whether you need legal, medical, or general business transcription, the three most important factors to evaluate when choosing a dictation service are turnaround time, accuracy, and security.

Turnaround time
The standard dictation service offers 24 to 48 hour turnaround. Many also offer STAT service, which provides 1, 2, or 4 hour turnaround.

• How does time of day impact the delivery schedule? If you submit your dictation at 8 pm for STAT transcription, will it get the immediate attention you need? Or will it be queued up until the following morning?
• How do they backup their guarantee? If they return transcriptions late, do they give you a discount? Or not charge you for them?
• Do different types of notes have different times?

Accuracy
Inaccurate transcriptions are worse than no transcriptions at all: serious mistakes can endanger patients' well-being or jeopardize legal agreements. The dictation service you choose should employ transcriptionists with significant experience in your field, as well as quality assurance (QA) staffers to double check transcripts before they're released.

Security
For web-based communication, the industry standard for security is 128-bit SSL security. If the dictation service uses another method of communication, ask what steps they take to make sure it's secure. Sending unencrypted files over regular email is not a secure method of transferring your audio files or the resulting transcription.

Physical security is important as well. Ask each dictation service you speak with what measures they take to ensure the security of your data at their locations: careful employee screening and tracking is essential.

Much like the rest of the world, nowadays businesses in the Gulf region are under constant pressure to streamline their businesses and operate faster, reliably and more cost efficiently. The key to success lies in the ability to efficiently process information found in thousands and sometimes millions of documents which enter and leave a company each year. Information needs to be processed internally and then managed in the normal course of business operations. Given the fact that this flood of information is often met with a lengthy and error-prone manual process, the enormous potential for optimization is evident. The following article highlights how critical the automation of business processes are and how global businesses, including Abu Dhabi Gas Industries Ltd, GASCO, have benefited from solutions offered by the market leader Kofax. Optimization - A dynamic and critical process Every company defines it's business process according to how its products and services will be developed, purchased or offered in order to then present them profitably in the market. To put it another way - business processes describe the core business and largely determine success or failure. The optimization of these processes therefore plays a critical part in the ability to compete: the more automated, cost effective and error-free processes are executed, the cheaper and higher the quality of the products and services offered. Not only are business end users satisfied, but so are all people and entities involved in the value added process. With companies finding themselves in a constantly changing environment, it is not enough to just analyze the business processes once and take appropriate optimization measures. Global businesses are being forced to adapt to changing market conditions such intensifying competition and increasingly sophisticated and mature end-users, who require fast information on product and service portfolios. Businesses need to adapt to these changing conditions to gain a competitive advantage which they then need to maintain and expand. Business process optimization is not a static but a dynamic process, and all possible solutions should not only be a resolution to a current challenge, but should also represent possible future scenarios. As every business process is based on information, available in numerous formats and diverse mediums, any approach to business process optimisation will have to deal with the central issue of: How can one - by deploying the least effort and adopting the safest, fastest and easiest way - provide all people involved in the value added process with real-time, relevant information? And how can one make sure of this for the future? In other words how can all incoming information, irrespective of format, ideally be processed so that all in-house staff (Management, Marketing, Sales, Services and Back office functions, in particular Accounting) and external entities (suppliers, contractors, auditors and clients) have access to the data they currently require? In this context, the manual way of processing is ineffective. It is far too slow, costly and error-prone. It is just not possible to react and act upon the ever more restrictive legal requirements regarding the traceability and transparency of all business information, or deliver prompt responses to customer feedback. It takes too long to process incoming invoices, especially if you consider the risk of losing out on cash discounts and the effect on supplier relationships. Just the screening and routing of incoming post means having to dedicate valuable resources, which could be used for much more efficient, value-added tasks. However being able to optimize the processing of information or the automation of business processes is made difficult by one thing: About 80% of all business-relevant information is by nature unstructured. E-mails, various paper documents, phone calls, faxes and a variety of file formats provide a real challenge in terms of effectively carrying out classification, collection and forwarding of the information contained therein. Criteria for Choosing a Solution The current market offers an attractive portfolio of solutions for capturing information and automating business processes. Prior to making a decision to invest, you should examine a number of issues and questions. This will ensure that you are guaranteed the desired future results: What about the integration into heterogeneous, possibly changing enterprise infrastructures and backend systems? Is the proposed solution fast, easy to use and simple to implement in the current business environment? Has the potential supplier demonstrated successful results with the proposed solution in comparable environments? Can the provider give references? Does the potential supplier have close partnerships with manufacturers of ERP, ECM and workflow solutions and hardware vendors? Can concrete statements be made regarding the expected return on investment? Will qualified on-site assistance be guaranteed in the implementation and follow-up? How high, depending on the application area, are the recognition rates on structured, semi-and unstructured documents? Can the future demand for high flexibility and scalability (such as rising volumes or new information channels and media) be ensured? Is the potential supplier able to offer the necessary software, hardware as well as support and service as a single one stop shop? The Solution: Kofax Intelligent Capture & Exchange Thousands of companies and organizations have found the answers to the above questions in the Intelligent Capture & Exchange portfolio offered by Kofax. Over its long history Kofax has been able to peg the spot as market leader by combining its unique technology, close partnerships with all major manufacturers in the business process automation field, and through a series of strategic acquisitions.

Visit www.kofax.com and view our extensive portfolio of Case Studies, from all industry segments. They give a detailed insight into the use of Intelligent Capture & Exchange. Below you will also find an independent study by Nucleus Research on the ROI of such a solution. Calculable ROI Nucleus Research examined a Kofax solution for automated invoice processing, which was implemented by Corporate Express U.S. Inc., one of the country's largest B2B Office Supplier. Corporate Express had reached their limits with using the traditional manual process. Nucleus calculated the costs of software, hardware, consulting, personnel, and training over a 3-year period to quantify Corporate Express' total investment in Kofax Intelligent Capture & Exchange and counter-calculated all direct and indirect savings, including increased productivity of accounts payable processors and coordinators. These benefits have been quantified and calculated using the average fully loaded cost of employees and multiplied by a productivity correction factor to account for the inefficient transfer of time. The result was an ROI of 99% and a payback within 1.27 years. One Stop Shop: Kofax EMEA As well as employing over 1200 highly trained staff, one of Kofax's main competitive strengths is its global network of authorised partners, better known as Certified Solution Providers.

Interaction Process Automation™

Improve business performance by streamlining processes without complexity

Every business decision, no matter how big or small, is either a step forward or a step backward. There is no middle ground. Every aspect of your business processes must work in harmony, creating a smooth, efficient operation, all focused on achieving your business goals.

Interaction Process Automation™ (IPA) restores control over your business processes and creates visibility into your operations as it automates. IPA keeps track of work, progress, people, skills, qualifications, availability, and resources. IPA optimizes processes by automatically prioritizing and routing work to the best qualified and available worker – regardless of location – for timely completion. IPA knows who and where those people are and delivers the work to them. Say goodbye to delays and chaos and hello to efficiency and manageability.  

Learn More. . .

Visual and accessible

Visually create tasks and processes. Define the information to capture and track. Create views to display work items. No complicated programming languages, no expensive programmers, and no long development cycles. Without sacrificing funct ionality, IPA uses a simple process-flow definition and graphical interface to enable quicker design, deployment, and modification of automated business processes, resulting in lower overall time and cost to deploy.

Connected and intelligent

Nothing understands communications like IPA. IPA integrates internal and external communications throughout any process as it captures, prioritizes, routes, escalates, and tracks work with customers, vendors, partners, and employees. Software tool kits only embed communications into applications and rely upon extensive customizations to make it all work. Existing business process management suites struggle to integrate communications and are expensive, complicated, time-consuming, and cumbersome to deploy.

IPA easily connects to your enterprise applications to extend process automation to your CRM, financial management software, and various database sources and applications. IPA artfully orchestrates business processes and communications, bridging the gap between people and systems all on one platform.

Real ROI – right away

IPA represents a fresh look at process automation and management. Built around the Communications-Based Process Automation (CBPA) approach to process automation, IPA gives you the ability to automate a complete process from beginning to end. Other products only automate pieces of a process, leaving you with multiple products to buy, integrate, manage, and support, driving up your cost and lowering your ROI.

In addition to automating processes, IPA helps you improve your processes. Because IPA is communications-based, it minimizes latency and human error right away, thus reducing processing time and improving processing accuracy which deliver measurable cost savings quickly. And with location-independence built-in, work is routed wherever resources are available, further increasing efficiency and minimizing delays.

Vision and visibility in one solution

Monitor in-flight processes in real-time and track work activity through historical reports. Quickly setup alerts to keep everyone informed about exceptions and redistribute resources to meet required service levels. Prevent work from bottlenecking or sitting untouched. IPA reroutes the work and notifies supervisors of the problem. Trouble spots are identified more quickly so solutions can be implemented quickly.

Truly unique solution

Representing a fresh approach to process automation and management, the broad methodology of Communications-Based Process Automation (CBPA) allows IPA to provide a comprehensive and unified experience, interacting with information and communications in real time. The fully integrated design of communications-based process automation means that IPA can identify an issue and reroute work without having to rely upon other outside applications or human intervention to initiate corrective activity.

The difference starts with the design

Based on a true unified, all-in-one communications platform, Interactive Intelligence has developed a complete and manageable all-in-one process automation and management solution, not just a few workflow tools designed for programmers or an adaptation of multipoint communications systems that cause more cost and complexity.

Similar to our introduction in 1997 of the first all-in-one communications system to include PBX, ACD, IVR and other applications running on a single platform, IPA gives companies everything they need using the most cost-effective and simple method possible:

• A graphical authoring tool that enables process authors to define information schema, design user work item forms, lay out the process flow, and specify detailed process logic.
• A service-oriented architecture (SOA) that makes it easy to access Web services and provides an event-driven software bus to act as the backbone of information flow.
• An orchestration engine that manages the entire process, pushing work along the defined process flow from step to step, and executing the logic specified in each step.
• A presentation framework that incorporates the designed work forms into end-user environments such as Windows PCs, and Web pages; includes the ability to pop other applications and exchange information with them.
• A real-time monitoring interface that gives supervisors visibility through every step of every process.
• Out-of-the-box and custom reports with all process data available in an open SQL database.

Key benefits

Interaction Process Automation provides a unique and cost-effective solution for process automation and management. IPA's unique unified architecture and features allow your business to:

• Decrease the cost of a given process
• Increase organizational efficiency
• Reduce the amount of time required to complete a process
• Eliminate latency in processes
• Minimize human error

Document Management

Electronic records reduce costs and create efficiencies, but healthcare organizations must still maintain a certain level of paper records. In fact, the amount of physical documentation generated by an average healthcare facility is still enormous. However, the old methods of printing and storing large volumes of blank forms and applications, frequently updating print documentation like procedure manuals has given way to more cost-effective, print-on-demand strategies.

Paper records contain sensitive, confidential information that must still be handled according to strict regulations. Patient privacy remains a critical factor, but with human lives at stake, finding cost-effective ways to provide quality care and preserve the security of information remains a daunting challenge.

Because printed documents remain an important element of healthcare management, the need for flexible, economical solutions continues to be foremost in administrator's minds. Reduced operating costs, minimal downtime, replenishment of consumables, printer mobility, and quiet, productive performance are essential points in any healthcare printer solution.

Healthcare Provider Relations (HCPR) carries a wide selection of affordable printer solutions that conform to health and security guidelines, while providing the reliability and strength to handle diverse printing needs. From prescription label printers to mobile barcode printers, to secure, print-on-demand document storage networks, Healthcare Provider Relations (HCPR) has the solution for any healthcare organization. In addition, Healthcare Provider Relations (HCPR)' PRINTSolv Managed Print Service makes administering complex print environments simple and cost-effective, enabling healthcare organizations to cut expenses without sacrificing care levels or confidentiality.

Compliance Solutions

Healthcare Provider Relations (HCPR) understands that your success in the healthcare industry is dependent not only on your ability to satisfy your customers' expectations, but also on your ability to provide solutions that meet specific compliance standards. Healthcare Provider Relations (HCPR)' unique combination of assessment services, hardware applications, and software support tools provide you with everything you need, whether you're just breaking into this market or growing an already-established healthcare business.

HIPAA

The 1996 Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) mandates how healthcare organizations store and transmit patients' health information. Two HIPAA rules impact the IT systems and software used by healthcare organizations: 1) The Privacy Rule and 2) The Security Rule.

The Privacy Rule establishes minimum standards with which healthcare providers must comply to safeguard the privacy of patient information. The Rule also confers the rights of patients to access and amend their health information, and to obtain a record of when and why their Protected Health Information (PHI) was shared with others.

The Security Rule requires that healthcare providers take specific administrative, physical, and technical steps to manage Electronic Protected Health Information (ePHI). Some of the basic security requirements include, but are not limited to:

• Adopting policies and procedures to protect the security of patient and enrollee information
• Developing and implementing data access control procedures
• Implementing technical mechanisms to prevent unauthorized access
• Establishing a reporting and response system for confidentiality violations

HIPAA requirements are designed to be technology-neutral and scalable. Since many of the requirements relate to policies and procedures, many providers achieve compliance with customized solutions that address a host of factors unique to their organization. Thus, the IT systems and software used must be flexible, configurable, customizable, and scalable so that the organization can realize compliance without major disruption to established processes.

HIMSS

The Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) is the industry's membership organization, providing global leadership for the optimal use of information technology and management systems for healthcare.

Founded in 1961 with locations across the United States and Europe, HIMSS is comprised of more than 20,000 individual members and over 300 corporate members that collectively represent organizations employing millions of people. HIMSS helps guide public healthcare policy and industry practices through advocacy efforts and through educational and professional development initiatives.

GREEN IT

 

Easy Strategies to Save Money and Help the Environment

Much of today's business community is searching for ways to cut costs while reducing the impact on the environment, and the healthcare industry is no different. Information technology has done much to reduce the amount of paper-related waste generated in the workplace, but at the same time, IT equipment creates other waste issues. Computers and electronic equipment use a lot of power, obviously; but the physical waste generated by obsolete or out-of-service equipment can pose tremendous environmental and health problems if not disposed of properly.

Smart information technology (IT) practices can reduce the environmental impact of conducting business, while still allowing healthcare organizations to cut expenses. With employee awareness and participation, even the busiest healthcare facility can adopt simple "green" strategies that require little to no additional equipment or labor expenditures.

Consider the following enviro-friendly IT strategies:

• Turn It Off: Reducing electricity consumption saves your business money and helps the environment.
  • Activate the sleep settings on idle monitors and PCs – From one management console, IT staff can use commercial software to control the power management features among all networked computers.
  • Replace power-hungry CRT monitors with more energy-efficient LED monitors.

• Consolidate: Converge multiple networks into a single, centralized infrastructure. Not only is this set-up more efficient to manage, but it reduces both power-use and the volume of electrical and electronic waste (e-waste) created
  • Deploy wireless networks to facilitate more flexible work environments and further reduce cabling and power requirements.

• Shop "Green": The types of products you purchase can have a great impact.
  • Purchase Electronic Products Environmental Assessment (EPEAT)-registered products that conform to the IEEE 1680 environmental performance standard.
  • Look for products that perform multiple functions instead of just one (for example, an integrated business platform that combines functionality of a router, firewall, VPN, Power over Ethernet switch, WiFi access point, telephony gateway, and voice messaging)

• Employ Virtual Communication: Throttle back on employee transportation costs and travel expenses
  • Encourage secure telecommuting with VPN-based solutions
  • Perform training, presentations, project collaboration, and other group activities with tele-presence technology that combines audio, video, and interactive elements and which reduces travel time and expenses (and environmental damage).

• Don't Throw It Away: E-waste can be a perplexing problem; it's loaded with toxic metals and organic chemicals that contaminate soil, water, and air. Until recently, over 90% of it was buried in landfill sites, incinerated, or recovered without any treatment.
  • Dispose of end-of-life products and other e-waste at government-certified facilities that are licensed for both hazardous waste disposal and recycling.

The marketing and business plans we prepare are the backbone of the professional practice. They shape and support the business entity; they lay out the strategies and actions which allow the program to capitalize on competitive opportunities and can anticipate and guide the way through competitive crises and over financial hurdles. Our clients include large metropolitan hospitals, health care product manufacturers, physicians, dentists and allied health care professionals.

Some examples of past projects are the market research of a specific region to determine the viability of a Medical Practice in this locale. This was for the planning department of a large metropolitan hospital and included the identification of market segments and select target markets; analysis of competitors in terms of their services, products, price strategies, affiliations, and promotional efforts; assessment of the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats in establishing this new Program. Other business management projects included the preparation of strategic plans to target physician referrals. This involved planning a brochure and test marketing techniques to reach the target market.

We have also performed market research for publicly held companies to substantiate advertising claims regarding FTC and FDA violations; prepared strategies for healthcare industry associations regarding consumer products and services; and worked with agencies to introduce new health care products.

This brief description gives you a thumbnail account of the type of services we provide to the health care community. We can also arrange for financial and operational management and advertising programs.

Exactly who wants to be the plain vanilla doctor or dentist? Through the years we've spoken to thousands of physicians and other providers, and there isn't a single one who thought he or she had a plain vanilla practice. Each doctor could tell us something unique about his/her work, practice, staff, and office environment. Unfortunately, in most cases, they didn't focus this message into a brand, so, to the public, these doctors remained vanilla.
