Each of contracted facilities is assigned with a Medical Director who performs many duties at the hospital, include scheduling physicians, tracking metrics & patient satisfaction, coordinating Quality Assurance and Performance Improvement programs interfacing regularly with hospital administrators, and assisting in recruiting efforts. The medical Director also works shifts at the hospital that he/ she has been assigned to. Our Practice Manager works closely with each Medical Director to ensure that adequate staffing is available, that scheduling is managed, and that all administrative concerns are handled. The Practice Manager also arranges for regular meeting with the Medical Director, physicians working at the hospital, and any administrative personnel. These regular meetings ensure that communications are maintained between everyone involved. Minutes are distributed from each meeting.
