Our Pre-Implementation Evaluation helps hospitals assess readiness, identify risks, and build the operational foundation for safe and effective ECMO delivery. Whether you’re launching a new program or planning to scale, we provide on-site reviews, infrastructure assessments, and strategic guidance to ensure your team, protocols, and resources are aligned from day one.
Our Pre-Implementation Evaluation provides a full-spectrum analysis of ECMO program readiness, aligned with ELSO guidelines and Joint Commission standards. We assess staffing frameworks (including interdisciplinary coverage models) policies and procedures, circuit management algorithms, quality assurance integration, and ongoing competency validation processes. Through clinical observation, staff interviews, and risk mapping, we identify systemic gaps and develop a customized action plan, equipping hospitals to launch or optimize ECMO services with scalable, sustainable outcomes at the forefront.
Financial Optimization ensures your ECMO services are sustainable, billable, and strategically aligned with hospital revenue models.We assess coding practices, payer pathways, and documentation workflows, to help maximize clinical reimbursement and reduce revenue leakage — without compromising patient care or safety.
Our Financial Optimization analysis dives deep into ECMO-specific billing practices, charge capture strategies, and payer-specific pathway alignment. We review encounter documentation, DRG/AP-DRG and, CPT/ICD coding structures, physician billing integration, and cost-center analysis to identify lost revenue opportunities. Every plan we deliver is tailored to support long-term financial stability, ensuring ECMO programs remain both clinically strong and fiscally sustainable.
We assess your hospital’s ECMO readiness across staffing models, clinical protocols, infrastructure, policies & procedures, and multidisciplinary coordination. Our evaluation identifies operational gaps and provides a custom strategic plan aligned with ELSO/ECMO guidelines and Joint Commission standards.
We typically engage clinical leadership (ECMO Directors, Nurse Managers, Respiratory Care leaders, Cardiovascular Perfusion) along with hospital administration, quality, and finance teams. A multidisciplinary approach ensures operational, clinical, and financial readiness.
Most on-site evaluations are completed in two days, with final written strategic recommendations delivered within two weeks. We move with urgency — because ECMO readiness can’t wait.
No, many hospitals use our evaluation services to optimize or relaunch existing ECMO programs after growth, staffing changes, or quality audits.
We assess billing workflows, coding accuracy, charge capture practices, and reimbursement strategies. Our goal is to strengthen financial sustainability without compromising clinical quality.
Yes. We collaborate directly with hospital finance, coding, and billing teams — ensuring operational recommendations align with payer expectations and real-world reimbursement structures.
While results vary, many hospitals recover significant lost revenue by optimizing billing/coding accuracy, increasing charge capture consistency and rebuilding their charge master. We’ll provide a tailored projection based on your program’s specific structure and past performance.
No. We support hospitals of all sizes, from community hospitals launching their first ECMO program to large academic centers looking to improve margin capture across high-volume centers.
Every strong program starts with the right plan. Tell us what you’re working on, and we’ll connect you with our clinical strategy team to map out the path forward.
