Before you sign a lease on that stand-alone office, take some time to consider the perks of joining a local healthcare hub. With strong tenant mixes, built-in referral networks, on-site labs and imaging, and powerful branding, healthcare hubs or medical campuses can be a great way to build your personal physician brand while benefiting from pooled resources.
Here are the perks of working from a healthcare hub.
Opportunities to Collaborate
Being part of a healthcare hub puts you among other high performers in your specialty as well as in complementary areas. You’ll instantly become part of a multidisciplinary team with a range of experience and expertise, allowing you to provide a holistic care approach. Additionally, you’ll benefit from a built-in referral network, together with on-site opportunities for mentorship and consultation.
Access to Best-in-Class Tech
Due to their pooled resources, medical hubs tend to be on the cutting edge of new technologies. Being part of a hub puts tech-like medical equipment, software such as electronic health records, and even site-wide data and analytics at your fingertips.
Powerful Negotiating Position
There’s strength in numbers. Medical hubs are in a stronger position to negotiate favorable insurance and reimbursement rates, as well as rates on new technology, software, or subscription-based offers. This can deliver more favorable terms, freeing up resources you can reinvest in your practice.
Strong Staffing Solutions
Great staff doesn’t come cheap. Shared, flexible staffing solutions across an entire biomedical hub can give you opportunities to get more from your staff, without the cost. Pooled resources mean that you’ll have on-site access to receptionists, IT, maintenance, and more – without the cost coming entirely from your own pocket.
Extra Services Included
Convenience is a winner for today’s patients. By joining a healthcare hub, you’ll be able to offer patients easy access to services such as labs, imaging, and a pharmacy. Additionally, referring patients to specialists is a breeze – they can complete their care in one convenient spot.
Capital Improvements
Healthcare hubs have a reputation for quality design and amenities, and with good reason. Whether associated with a major hospital or university or a boutique enterprise, healthcare hubs invest heavily in landscaping, parking, signage, and interior design to ensure that they stand apart in all the right ways. The branding is included, rather than being something you have to create from scratch.
