Performance
Behavioral Health Service Lines can struggle for optimal performance, due to underfunding of services relative to the expectations of quality, as well as the labor and other costs. Financial performance can be improved--and improved dramatically--by implementing contracting and billing systems that ensure accountabiliy on the part of payors. The Zayante Group has expert consultants with proven track records in this area, to assist organizations in acheiving self-sustaining Behavioral Health programs.
Safety
The behavioral health patient---psychiatric or substance dependent individual--will not "go away" just because an organization chooses to not provide a treatment environment! These are humans in need--and addressing those needs in a professional and courteous way will assist in providing safety. The Zayante Group can provide on-site assessment and recommendations (as well as training if requested) to help your organization provide a safe environment of care, reducing risk exposure.
