Gene St. Louis walks through a startup program for healthcare practices that covers everything from business planning and location analysis to hiring, staff training, and a full year of support after opening.
Chapters
Let's talk about our startup program. Our startup program begins with you and us working on developing a vision for you for your practice. And that vision falls right into the business plan. The business plan also has what's known as a pro forma. A ProForma is a three year Excel spreadsheet of all your collection, production, how many patients you're going to get in and what are all your expenses and how much the project is going to cost. And we also then do a demographics report. That demographic report helps us understand what area within where you reside or live or want to start your practice is the best for your specialty or general practice. And in that, that then guides us to help the healthcare realtor find the ideal location. In finding the ideal location, some doctors want medical complexes, some doctors want retail. That is really up to you as a clinician. But then from there we work with you to put together your team, your bank, your healthcare realtor, your architect, your cpa, your attorney, your insurance credentialing, your marketing team. Really all the aspects. When do you get your phone number? When do you get your phone? When do you hire staff? How do you hire staff? We teach you how to hire staff, we help you with final interviewing and then we come on site with you and actually train you and the team to get all your business operational systems in place once you open the doors, and then we're with you for a year afterwards and all of that is included. So we begin with you early on when you just have the feeling that you might want to do a startup all the way through a year after you open. It's an all inclusive program. I hope you dive deeper into it and find out more.
