Virtual CMO
iMPROve Health’s Virtual CMO service can ease the burden of managing a small or critical access hospital. We offer a targeted and flexible array of professional services commonly associated with a fully staffed medical leadership team. Our Virtual CMO saves you the expense and effort of hiring and training staff with this level of expertise.
These cost-effective, customizable medical leadership services are for small and critical access hospitals that cannot support a fully staffed medical leadership team. In these facilities, duties have been shared among busy staff members who lack the time, proper training, or expertise. Ultimately, this can result in diminished coordination and efficiency, along with medical, legal, and regulatory compliance-related risks.
This is an advanced solution for hospitals unable to obtain their own CMO-related services. Depending on the specific services provided, associated costs can be offset based on the hospital’s Medicare reimbursement formula. Core offerings for our Virtual CMO service include:
Quality Assurance
