Physician Recruitment and Integration Adding physicians to an established group should be approached with care. Finding the right person, screening, interviewing and making an offer are all part of the process. Once on board, it’s essential to make sure the new physician feels welcomed, is mentored, and understands the path to partnership. SHR will assist you on this journey so that communication is clear and expectations are met. Physician Contract Analysis and Negotiations Once you’ve identified the physician you’d like to have as a new member of your group, how do you make sure you bring that person in so that everyone is comfortable with “the deal?” SHR experts provide contract analysis and coach practice partners on how to negotiate for the best possible outcome. Physician Compensation Arrangements More than any other single issue, the way compensation and income division are handled can either make for enduring partnerships – or tear them apart. SHR consultants have vast experience in developing customized compensation plans which are fair, simple and work for the long-term. Succession Planning Eventually a senior partner will want to slow down or retire. How will you accommodate the desires of these valuable members of your group? And when retirement day does arrive, will be you be ready with a carefully planned buy-out agreement? We will work with your practice’s senior leadership to develop workable policies to address these situations. Leadership Development Some physicians are natural leaders. Others need support and mentoring to grow into the role of leader. As you identify future superstars in your group, let SHR assist them as they sharpen their skills and develop management styles that are unique to the individual and will benefit your group. Governance and Decision Support As a group develops, governance and decision-making may need to change to meet the needs of the growing practice. SHR develops governance models and decision support plans the ensure that practice efficiency is high and disagreements among partners are few and far between. Group Practice Retreats While it may be a challenge to make time for a partial, full day or weekend retreat, taking time for valuable planning is one of the most powerful things you can do to ensure a bright future for your practice. SHR consultants are experienced in planning and facilitating retreats so that your time is well spent and you walk away with well thought out agreements and actions plans. Related Entity Arrangements If your group has interest in real-estate, ancillary services, surgical centers or other related businesses, these ventures require the same level of attention as does the day-to-day management of the practice. The consultants at SHR have experience in helping physicians plan and implement these separate entities so that they enhance your practice.
