Paragon Health offers a complete practice management suite of services including the placement of a full-time on-site administrator, accounts receivable/business office functions, accounting/financial services, human resource/benefits administration functions, information systems and planning and hardware/software strategic support. Paragon offers an option to employ the local staff through a “Professional Employer Organization” (PEO), which allows for streamlined HR management and benefits cost savings. Paragon either offers directly or has partnered with “best in class” national resources to provide this truly unique and comprehensive service. It’s the only service of its kind dedicated uniquely to cardiology practices.
The governance, strategic, regulatory, financial, staffing, and operational complexities facing the modern American cardiology practice are greater now than ever. Paragon provides Executive Director level services to the cardiology practice through a “Management Services Agreement.” A Paragon employed Executive Director is recruited and hired in partnership with the local practice, and lives in the local community. The local Executive Director assumes responsibility for all of the administrative functions of the practice. The local Executive Director is accountable to the local cardiology practice Board of Directors and Paragon. The Director is offered full national support and training by Paragon, and is charged with bringing the full resources of Paragon to bear on behalf of the practice. Paragon practice management services include regular visits by Paragon Corporate Officers, as well as full-time local Executive Director support.
Paragon Interim Management provides temporary placement of an administrator to serve the practice or hospital for a minimum of three months, while a permanent administrator is being recruited. As part of this service, Paragon provides recruitment assistance, creates an “Interim Business Plan,” and provides maintenance/enhancement of all administrative functions.
