Hospitalist Medicine

As the fastest growing medical specialty, hospitalist medicine is expected to double the number of physician practitioners in just five short years, increasing from 15,000 in 2005 to 30,000 in 2010.

PHMG has offered consulting for both new businesses and existing practices to physician groups and hospitals for nearly as long as the field has been recognized in the mid 1990s. We understand the unique challenges of hospitalist medicine, such as how to recruit and retain qualified clinicians in a competitive job market and how to determine the needs of hospital support to maintain viability of the practice.

Our physician practice consultants use specifically-designed management tools to analyze your practice data for feasibility studies, strategic planning, practice and revenue cycle management. One example of our software tools is Eisodima, an in-house designed technology solution that tracks operational data such as census data, average length of stay, and physician scheduling. This data, compiled from hospital and billing databases, can be used to produce real-time reports to manage the daily volume and interact with the healthcare coding department to ultimately increase reimbursement.
