Could adding staff members improve your practice? Strategic new hires could sharpen your competitive edge

Description

Abstract: Many practices are adding new positions to their organizational charts to better serve patients and sharpen their competitive edges. Assuming a practice has a valid need for these hires, as well as the payroll and benefits capacity to compensate everyone fairly, this might be a good strategic move. This article looks at the potential benefits of adding staff in regard to efficiency, quality and compliance, among other factors. It points out, though, that adding staff isn’t a move to undertake without careful research and discussion with physician partners and professional advisors.
