A few examples are as follows:
- No adjustments are made to relieve staff or adjust hours.
- Supply inventory par levels are not decreased.
- Attempts to replace the departing physician do not take place.
- Service contracts tied to case volume are not reviewed or amended.
- Marketing budgets are not fine-tuned.
All of these oversights maintain the expenses, yet the revenues are significantly reduced which leads to a perfect storm of business disaster. I have seen this set of circumstances several times with the end results ranging from barely breaking even to bankruptcy.
With the proper contingency plan or corporate partner in place, the risk can be significantly minimized.
