Why MEDNAX
The current healthcare environment
The current healthcare environment makes it increasngly difficult for doctors and hospitals to effectively manage patient care, remain current on the latest procedures and efficiently administer non-clinical activities. The pressures facing the traditional physician group practice are growing. The legal/regulatory environment poses increasing challenges and the administrative costs associated with running a practice are on the rise. The opportunity to off set those costs with increased efficiency are limited. Hospitals and third-party payors face similar challenges - rising costs and increased competition - while hospitals must also deal with limited resources and staffing issues. Paramount to these challenges are the needs of the patient: affordable, high-quality, evidence-based care.
Our patient-focused clinical approach
Our business model emphasizes a patient-focused clinical approach. We address the needs of our various partners, including hospitals, third-party payors, referring physicians, affiliated physicians and, most importantly, our patients, through a collaborative effort of healthcare and business professionals.
Our affiliated physicians, who are dedicated to delivering high quality clinical care, work in tandem with business professionals who continuously demonstrate their effectiveness in managing the business aspects of our national group practice. Because our business professionals handle the administrative functions and any operational challenges, our physicians are able to focus exclusively on clinical duties.
Our clinical care model
Our clinical model allows physicians to do what they do best: take great care of the patient TM. Our clinical infrastructure allows physicians to pursue clinical research, education and quality initiatives on a national scale to enhance patient outcomes, ensuring the appropriate length of hospital stays and reducing long-term health system costs.
Our administrative competencies
MEDNAX is a compelling solution for both our physicians and hospital partners. When faced with the choices of building a business infrastructure on their own or identifying outsourced vendors to provide these services, physician groups are recognizing the benefits of joining a national group practice. We relieve physicians of administrative burdens by providing practice administration including recruiting, credentialing, risk management, legal, compliance, managed care contracting, marketing, billing, collections and other administrative functions.
Our hospital partners benefit from our practice administration expertise as well, as we manage variable admission rates, operating costs, complex reimbursement systems and other administrative burdens.
