Service lines are critical strategic and operational components of hospitals and health systems. Healthcare organizations cannot afford to stand still while searching for the ideal candidate to lead these functions. HealthGroup West can provide interim assistance and lay a strong foundation for the incoming leader by completing a comprehensive service line market assessment, surveying the key service line stakeholders, developing strategic recommendations for the service line, and implementing reporting and benchmarking templates. HealthGroup West can also assist with candidate identification or with mentoring internal candidates the organization seeks to foster into service line leadership. Contact us today to discuss how we may help your organization continue to advance key service lines during times of transition.
