Healthcare providers are struggling with how to cope with increasing overhead costs and decreasing reimbursements. They recognize that the rate-limiting factor to growth is the physical inability to expand a clinician’s daily patient load without compromising optimal patient care.

The standard method for practice growth has historically been to see as many patients in a day as possible. While this model may create the desired increase in revenue, the fallout of physician fatigue and oversight responsibilities almost always overshadows the benefits of the increased revenue.

Black Sheep Consulting has created a successful model for lateral integrations as a means of not only providing vital services that enhance the quality of patient care, but also increases revenue without the need to see more patients. This process effectively allows for the ability of unique lateral growth beyond the normal scope of practice restrictions while still maintaining the highest level of patient satisfaction.

By adding various treatment modalities for patients, Black Sheep has helped physicians all over the country effectively become multi-specialty practices. Under the team’s guidance, staff are trained to identify patients who may benefit from the increased availability of additional treatment modalities. This model has become the standard in bridging the gap between Clinical Competency, Patient Retention, Increased Patient Satisfaction, and ultimately Business Profitability.

Beta test sites using this method have tripled their revenue. As a result, the number of services per patient increased, reducing the patient acquisition cost while still delivering exceptional quality of care to patients.
