“We develop a very collaborative group approach to each facility, physician and APC, one by one,” she explains.
Phase One: Tangible, Immediate Change
- Informational packets for all employees, APCs and independent contractors about the company, including pay/compensation, benefits, payroll, scheduling, work expectations, career paths, contract vs. full-time employees, taxes/deductions, and other topics.
- Question-answer sessions with all partner clinicians to identify challenges, address needs, and provide assurances about how ApolloMD’s culture will impact their work-life balance
- Immediate feedback on employment, hiring, and staffing needs, and appointment of an on-site practice coordinator
- Critical information about staff licensure, certification, and qualifications, including ApolloMD’s policy to insert non-compete clauses in physicians’/hospitals’ contracts
Phase Two: Ongoing, Solution-Oriented Transition
Phase Three: Long-Term Clinical and Operational Improvement
The goal: continuous improvement in patient care, industry metrics, and patient/clinician satisfaction.
