Surgery
Do you know how much every minute of OR time is worth? For most hospitals it’s hundreds of dollars of profit, so it’s crucial to maximize the utilization of one of your most important revenue generating assets. Ivy has experience applying our strategic, operational, and sales experience to your surgery line to:
- Determine a health system’s true OR utilization rate and opportunity for growth.
- Optimize every last minute of OR time.
- Develop a concentrated, proven sales strategy to grow your surgery volume and profitability.
Bariatric Surgery
Demand is increasing dramatically for surgical weight loss solutions. Becoming the provider of choice, in your market, for these patients requires a tightly coordinated program with seamless internal processes coupled with an persistent sales and marketing effort. Your relationship with your customers (patients and referring physicians) is more extensive with bariatric surgery than with almost any other healthcare service. It begins with an initial referral and educational seminars, transitions to a series of consultations with surgeons, dieticians, financial advisors, insurance consultants, psychiatrists, and personal trainers, eventually leading up to surgery (duodenal switch, laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding, sleeve gastrectomy, or Roux-en-Y gastric bypass). The service and customer relationship continues with recovery and ongoing monitoring and consults. Ivy understands the demanding and protracted nature of the bariatric surgery service. Ivy Ventures has specific experience and custom solutions that allow hospitals to focus on the patient and clinical aspects of the service while we focus on building your business. Our solutions improve customer interaction and satisfaction by coordinating access and communication throughout the entire patient encounter.
