BRINGING HOSPITAL EXPERTISE TO YOU

2 min read

Similar to evaluating wealth and legal advisors, it's crucial to find a health advisory firm that leverages extensive experience and proven strategies. A firm with a deep understanding of the complexities of hospital operations and emergency care brings a unique and invaluable perspective to client care. This expertise can be the difference between standard service and exceptional outcomes, ensuring clients receive the best possible care and treatment.

A critical approach to seek in a health advisory firm is the use of multidisciplinary rounds, a method widely practiced in hospitals. At Wellworth, our team meets weekly — much like a financial advisory team — to review and discuss each patient's care and treatment. This ensures that every aspect of their healthcare is meticulously considered and coordinated.

Another area that is invaluable is process. Look for a firm with training in LEAN and Six Sigma processes. This allows for meticulous crafting and provides a thorough process for selecting the best physicians for clients.

While these processes are integral for all our clients, they are particularly crucial in navigating senior care and housing. We’ve developed and refined a multidisciplinary approach that follows five key steps:

1. Assessment

We evaluate the clinical and lifestyle needs of the client, considering healthcare risks. This often involves consultations with family members, treating providers, and a thorough review of medical records.

2. Analysis

Our multidisciplinary team analyzes the assessment results, discussing the best course of action (e.g., determining if a client can continue living at home with the appropriate support).

3. Recommendation

We present our intervention recommendations to the family, ensuring they are fully informed.

4. Consensus building

We facilitate discussions with all family members and stakeholders — adult children, spouses, providers, and advisors — to weigh the pros and cons and reach a consensus.

5. Execution

We implement the chosen course of action with meticulous attention to detail, ensuring the best possible outcomes for our clients.

For expert guidance, consider reaching out to a healthcare advisor who can help you navigate your choices effectively.
