Office and management systems are critical to your practice’s efficiency and profitability. A complete operations assessment is recommended every 2–5 years and may often be required when you consider making key changes, such as hiring new staff, implementing new technology, or expanding your services or office facilities. Quaintise’s experienced management experts will work with your managers and staff to identify and correct issues that affect your efficiency and profitability. Our goal is to increase your revenue, decrease expenses, improve the quality of care for your patients, and increase job satisfaction for your physicians and staff.

Our in-depth assessment may include an analysis of financial and compliance data, on-site observation of your day-to-day activities and patient flow, interviews of physicians and staff, and a diagnostic evaluation of your overall practice based on your medical business plan. Once our assessment is complete, we will make specific recommendations to remedy any inefficiencies or non-compliance. We can also work with you to implement changes based on the resulting recommendations.

We will also review your billing documents, including encounter forms, claims, and explanations of benefits.
