Clinical Service Line Development
Clinical service lines are the building blocks of patient-centered care. Organizing services around specific body systems, treatment processes, or diseases can improve both outcomes and practice efficiencies. Building an effective clinical service line requires effective working relationships among physicians — often from departments or practices that have not collaborated successfully in the past. The Bard Group’s approach incorporates building physician–physician and physician–institution relationships with developing effective systems and processes of care. The result is an improved work environment that promotes the best patient outcomes.
We approach service line engagements with both clinical expertise and an understanding of the infrastructure requirements of successful healthcare organizations. Our cross-functional teams include both operational and subject-matter experts in multiple disciplines, including cardiovascular, cancer, orthopedic, and pediatric care.
We can help with client projects all across the range of service line development, from market analysis to implementation, including organizational design, the program of care, the operating model, an implementation plan, implementation support, and ongoing monitoring and refinement.
