Virtual Facilitation is ideal for a small practice with a small budget that nevertheless seeks to make the commitment to comprehensive practice transformation. It's an equally good fit for a large multi-location practice with de-centralized staff that has set a specific performance improvement goal. And it's an economical choice for practices that want to begin the journey with the four Foundations topic areas that pilot projects have shown to be requisites for practice success: Practice Management, Leadership, Team Development and Change Management. Virtual Facilitation is also available in other areas such as Population Management, Group Visits, Integrated Clinical Care Teams, etc. If you choose, you can build your full Medical Home with Virtual Facilitation.

Virtual Facilitation emphasizes telephone, email and web-based communication over site visits and face-to-face interactions. This creates accessibility for adjuncts, off-site administrators and decentralized team members -- and minimizes both the costs and carbon-footprint associated with travel.

Virtual Facilitation includes:

• Kick-off conference call with each practice leader to identify practice concerns
• Formal assessment of key personnel's capabilities
• Ongoing practice leader coaching conference calls
• Email communication with facilitator

Virtual Facilitation is available for both Full Transformation or Targeted Facilitation. Contact us with your needs.

"We wanted to extend a sincere thank you for the invitation to your remarkable fall collaborative. We found the event to be inspiring... We saw first hand that the patient panel was an impressive vehicle for effective two-way communication and we plan to institute a similar patient advisory group with our Leominster FP practice... We also learned so much on care management... We are extremely appreciative of this wonderful opportunity and have many 'take-aways' for our implementation."
