Richard Beveridge & Associates, Inc.

 

 

Richard Beveridge & Associates, Inc. specializes in providing innovative, high quality, customized cardiac and vascular business solutions.  We understand the dynamics of the current healthcare environment with its high degree of uncertainty and constantly changing terrain.  We recognize  the importance of physicians and hospitals working collaboratively to provide the highest quality, cost effective health care services.  All of our strategic planning services are structured to develop and enhance the relationships between the hospitals and physicians.  We design our consulting processes to allow valuable input from all program stakeholders in an effort to develop the trust, commitment and team approach that we believe is critical to ensure cardiac and vascular program success.  

 

We utilize the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) in many of our engagements to actively involve the program's or practice's stakeholders in the planning process.  Utilizing the AHP in strategic planning improves communication and trust between physicians and hospital personnel as participation in, understanding of, and consensus with the decision-making process is facilitated.   AHP focuses program and practice stakeholders on a shared mission and vision and facilitates the development of a sense of shared destiny among the stakeholders.

 

Our expertise involves assisting hospitals and physician practices effectively plan for and deal with the uncertainties that exist in today's market.  We help our clients develop the skills, techniques and tools required to succeed in tomorrow's market today!  We firmly believe in the importance of providing value to our clients, and consistently strive to exceed clients' expectations.

 

Our experience is in assisting hospitals with program development, including cardiac catheterization, open-heart capability, and organ transplantation. We also have extensive experience in assisting physician practices to identify opportunities for greater practice operational efficiency and practice growth.

 

Each consultation we provide is fully customized to the client's unique needs. While we have extensive knowledge and experience, we are committed to never "take your problem and fit it into our solution". We fully understand that what works for one client at another location won't necessarily work for you. To that end, we collect and analyze client specific data to understand the specifics and unique nuances that exist in each market.  We continually invest in furthering the education of our consultants and in developing our proprietary database of health care information.  In performing our analyses. we utilize our vast source of data as well as industry data from outside sources so that we can understand each client's unique position and strengths in the specific healthcare market.
