The "Blitz"
Get a comprehensive, low cost diagnostic assessment that is completed in less than a week. A "Blitz" involves 6 – 8 JHD Group senior consultants who will benchmark your operations against high performance organizations, and will summarize the strengths and weaknesses in terms of “performance gaps”. For each performance gap, we will identify specific steps your organization can take to close gaps that are having a tangible impact on the operations, such as, reduced income, physician hassle, unsatisfactory or compromised patient service, and how that gap can be closed. The scope of the “Blitz” is comprehensive including:

	Practice Strategy
	Marketing and Business Development
	Financial Position
	Managed Care Strategy and Contracting
	Revenue Cycle Management
	Clinic/Medical Office Operations
	Ancillary Operations
	Administrative Operations
	Information Technology Support
	Physician Productivity and Compensation
	Organization, Governance, and Management

We begin the “Blitz” by collecting in advance of the on-site work as much data as is readily available (staffing, billing and collection, physician compensation, fee schedule, etc.) and then having the team spend 3 – 5 days on site reviewing operations, interviewing staff, and discussing goals and issues with the physician leadership. At the end of the on-site work, we present to the physician leadership a “Blitz Report” which addresses the group’s strengths, opportunities, threats, and weaknesses and a “roadmap” of how to improve market position, operational effectiveness, and financial results.

EMR Readiness/Project Status Assessment

With the increasing rate of EMR implementations, more and more physician (or sponsoring hospital) organizations are asking one of two questions:

	Is our organization and physicians ready to take on the challenges of implementing an EMR?
	Is our existing EMR selection or implementation project bogged down and at risk of failing?

To help providers address these questions, we have developed an EMR specific assessment methodology which can be used at the front-end before selection or implementation has started, or at a point where the sponsors are worried about the project “going into the ditch”. Depending on the specific situation, the questions addressed include:

	Are the physicians willing to adopt an EMR and make the practice changes necessary for success?
	Are their sufficient vendor/client resources?
	Is the information technology support sufficient?
	Are/have the key challenges been anticipated?
	Is there a clear business case?
	Has a detailed roll-out plan been developed and vetted?
