Policy and Procedure Manual Creation

Some hospitalist practices experience operational challenges that impede their progress. HPS will work with you to provide the necessary operational structure to ensure both staff (non-clinical and clinical) accountability and program success. We will customize policies and procedures defining:

  • Program mission, vision, objectives, and values
  • Provider (and front office) responsibilities and expectations
  • Appropriate utilization of non-physician clinicians (Physician Assistant and Nurse Practitioner)
  • Communication protocols (admission and discharge)
  • Patient selection and referral process
  • Patient rounding and hospitalist checkout
  • Staffing, scheduling, and practice coverage
  • Chart documentation and coding
  • Billing protocols
  • Hospitalist administrative duties
  • Hospitalist performance evaluation processes
* The creation of a practice policy and procedure manual can be offered as a stand alone service or in conjunction with other services we provide.
