Emergency Department Consulting
Put Decades of Expertise to Work for You
Since 1987 Premier Physician Services has led the way with superior Emergency Department management and staffing. Each year, we treat more than 1.5 million patients in EDs with volumes ranging from 12,000 to
73,000 patients annually. We know what makes both small and large ED’s successful; we can make your ED run more efficiently as well.
With our emergency department consulting experts, we can help you achieve maximum efficiencies and patient satisfaction. Your team, composed of ED physicians and clinical operations staff, will study all aspects of your operation, including design and systems, patient flow, compliance issues, billing, and risk management. We will work closely with you to create the best ED business and operational plans unique to your organization.
Our Emergency Department Consulting Process
Assess Operation
We begin with an in-depth, on-site assessment performed by our emergency department consulting team and other essential personnel. During this phase, we review key areas of operation, including:
- Patient Acuity
- Chart Audits
- Patient Demographics
- Procedures
- Medical Staff Interaction
- Lab Processes
- Radiology and Diagnostics
- Patient Interactions
- Patient Wait Times
- Patient Satisfaction Scores
Establish ED Goals
Next, our emergency department consulting experts evaluate all information to determine operational goals, such as target patient wait times, target satisfaction scores, and the development of clinical pathways.
Develop Action Plan
With goals established, we then work with you to develop concrete steps to achieve them. The action plan outlines and prioritizes deliverables with responsibilities assigned to key team members. Ongoing evaluation and assessment is also essential to ensure that operational efficiencies are being maintained.
Consulting Beyond the ED
At Premier, we also provide experienced consulting services for correctional medicine, occupational medicine, EMS operations, and hospitalist services. With experts in each of these fields, we can offer you deep insights that will help you achieve your unique operational goals.
