Stryker's Performance Solutions Launches Practice Excellence™ Program to Help Physician Practices Drive Profitability, Efficiency & Quality Outcomes

MAHWAH, N.J., Oct. 30, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Performance Solutions, Stryker's healthcare transformation business, today announced the launch of its Practice Excellence™ Program, a new implementation service to help physician practices nationwide specializing in orthopaedics drive profitability, efficiency and quality outcomes.  

The Practice Excellence™ Program starts with a comprehensive financial and operational analysis and report of the health of the physician practice to determine areas for improvement. The Performance Solutions team then develops a specialized plan inclusive of three separate value tracks that are prioritized and scalable depending on the organization's greatest need.

• Revenue Cycle Management focuses on improving profitability and key financial performance indicators from denial prevention and revenue recovery to physician documentation coding to payment reform and analytics.
• Practice Redesign drives efficiency through on-site LEAN workflow mapping and optimized patient visit management and resource alignment.
• Ongoing Data Analytics helps practices track, trend and analyze clinical, financial and operational performance to drive informed organizational decision-making and change process strategies for practice sustainability. 

"Practice management is increasingly more difficult due to the administrative burden of managing insurers, contracts, government reporting requirements and patient demands," said Richard Conn, MD, Medical Director for Performance Solutions. "Through the Practice Excellence™ Program, physician groups can tap into our team's expertise in practice management, finance, and healthcare policy and reform, among other disciplines, to help sharpen their competitive edge and work toward becoming more profitable."

Healthcare is increasingly focused on quality and patient satisfaction. Performance Solutions is a trusted partner that has led hospitals, physicians and payers through the challenges of healthcare reform.

"Physician groups are under tremendous pressure to reduce costs and grow their practices," said Brian McCrone, Vice President of Performance Solutions. "We are committed to helping healthcare professionals succeed from every angle. With the addition of the Practice Excellence™ Program to our portfolio, we have an even broader spectrum of data intelligence and customizable solutions to help our customers determine actionable insights that are key to building a strong future in this uncertain healthcare environment."
