Network Consulting
Helping health networks thrive with Western Healthcare Alliance.
As the healthcare industry evolves, the relationships between organizations are critical to the well being of their communities. Independent and system-affiliated hospitals and healthcare providers who understand the importance of solid partnerships look to collaborate in new and creative ways. Networks of formal collaboration are often considered as a potential solution in a regional geographic area. What will that look like, what are the potential legal and governance structures, and what is fair and equitable participation?
WHA has been helping healthcare executives explore and answer these questions for more than 25 years. Contact us to find out if we might be able to help you too.

Point of Service Collections Training
We understand that most employees work at your hospital to help your patients. They may not feel comfortable collecting money, and many staff haven’t had adequate training to do so. How can you get your team excited about this effort? Point of service collections is not optional—it’s the new standard. Therefore, it’s critical to align your processes and policies to back up your message.
We can help you establish a hardwired culture around upfront collections. We can help you train your staff to think about point-of-service collections as more than just collecting payment; it’s about educating the patient.
As we move into an era of increased price transparency, your patients are shopping for their healthcare services. We can ensure you provide a timely, accurate estimate to patients to position your organization now and into the future.

Reducing Costs While Creating Engaged & Aligned Employees
We know that HR leaders face many challenges such as new reporting requirements and securing funding to enable departments to offer competitive benefits and attract the best talent.
As the healthcare industry continues to shift toward performance-based care models, HR leaders must stay focused on recruiting, retaining, and engaging their organization’s executive teams and workforce.
In a landscape in which HR managers struggle with their current budget, finding ways to further reduce costs in order to invest in talent management continues to be difficult. WHA can help by providing insight and information on leadership compensation and competencies, succession planning, physician leadership, workforce engagement, and much more.
