SRM’s Operations Review focuses on how work is accomplished within your organization, or in a specific service area. It examines how key work processes are designed, managed and improved to produce the best outcomes possible for patients, the community, and other key stakeholders. Critical assessment components include leadership and culture, throughput and efficiency, and quality/safety, as well as patient experience indicators, and cost/affordability variables.

Surgical Services Consulting

Our on-site facility assessments are tailored to meet the demanding needs of existing programs and startups including:

• Hospital Surgery Departments
• Hospital Outpatient Centers
• Ambulatory Surgery Centers

Our goal is to transform surgery and convert the culture focused on inpatient operating rooms to freestanding, best-practice surgical facilities with improved bottom-line and quality of care based on a patient-centric delivery model. Our focus extends beyond traditional cost-cutting tactics to redesigned and re-engineered work processes, evaluating service offerings, utilizing technology to enable more efficient and effective practices, and improving revenue management.

SRM's team can drive success in the operating room, utilizing our "Best Practice" approach to support the coordination of multiple teams and processes.  Through our assessment, organizations can buy-in to recommendations and optimally utilize existing resources, knowledge and experience found within their programs. SRM provides oversight, and tools including dashboards and metrics to evaluate surgical specialty, surgeon, and supply chain analytics.
