Pediatric Practice

With literally decades of combined practice experience, the Teknion team can perform a practice assessment and help design actionable strategies to improve the operational efficiency of your practice.  Areas of focus include access, well visit rates, disease management, provider coding, practice throughput, and much more.  

There may be no other aspect of pediatric care that is more important than improving well visit and chronic disease follow-up rates.  When patients have regular touchpoints for both preventive and chronic care management their health improves while utilization and cost goes down.  Simple in concept, challenging to implement.  Proven processes can be put into place, regardless of current technological abilities, to enhance success even with the most reluctant patient populations.  Teknion has a toolkit to assist.  

Many practices have not changed their compensation model in years.  There are multiple methods of compensation - and each of them have many variations themselves.  Is your practice compensation model competitive?  Is it rewarding physicians for today's priorities?  Does it align with long term practice sustainability?   The Teknion team, with its decades of varied experience and understanding of current trends, can help you create a compensation model to address all of your priorities.  

Changing physician behavior is key to the dynamic and nimble practice of today.  Healthcare continues to change rapidly and our providers must adapt.  Aligning tangible and intangible incentives is key to success with physician change management.  Let Teknion guide you on your continuous journey of quality improvement and change management.  

Nationally, about 25% of primary care providers are nurse practitioners.  Of course this varies greatly by region.  Nurse practitioners can contribute significantly to the clinical, operational and financial success of a pediatric practice.  Our team can assist in developing an evaluation to determine if a Nurse Practitioner will assist you with your practice priorities.  

Concierge practices are far more common in the adult primary care arena.  For many reasons, this concept has been slow to develop in pediatrics. However, many operational advancements and changes in patient demands have made pediatric concierge practices relatively simple and inexpensive to implement.  If you are seeking a simpler yet more personable way to practice medicine, let us help you get started with our Concierge Pediatrics toolkit.     

There are many reasons to develop a school-based health clinic (SBHC).  For a primary care practice a SBHC may afford you an opportunity to improve patient care, become more integrated into the community, and increase practice awareness, to name a few.  Even for an independent practice, there are several models for a SBHC.  Teknion can assist in your evaluation, planning and implementation of your first SBHC.
