My first job after graduating from the University of Central Florida was coordinating participation in domestic and international trade shows for a maritime communications company. Trade shows may seem straightforward and a fairly easy way to increase exposure to your company. However, what a lot of people don’t realize is there are a lot of deadlines for various tasks that pop up after you reserve your spot in the exhibition hall. You need to reserve furniture, arrange for items to be shipped on site, gather information about the team who is attending to support their reservations and ground logistics, secure specific insurance and other event requirements, and even order rental carpet delivery and installation for your physical booth space. If you are not prepared with a team to manage these tasks and deadlines for you, one might wonder, “How am I going to keep track of all these requirements, vendors, and deadlines?”
You could use an online calendar to manually input deadlines, or even use sticky notes to keep track of these important items. But methods like these lead to an increased amount of errors, especially if you are participating in multiple trade shows across different countries all during the same time period.
Now I’m with H3 and when looking back, the planning that went into preparing for trade shows was very similar in many ways to initial enrollment and hospital privilege applications in healthcare. I still must understand the end goal that the client is seeking, work to gather information from individuals and vendors across the region, and manage a complex set of deadlines and dependencies like a conductor of a symphony orchestra. In both roles, errors lead to delays, chaos, and, ultimately, loss of potential revenue. And if you depend on remembering to put deadlines on a calendar, you will eventually miss something important.
Why H3 Is Vital
When you partner with H3, you gain decades of healthcare credentialing experience. Our team truly understands the different application processes and what each payor expects with each credentialing application. If conditions with a payor change, we immediately know where to start looking so we know exactly what is needed and when it needs to be completed. Elevate, H3’s custom-built credentialing platform, takes the guesswork out of figuring out when each step needs to be done. All tasks and deadlines are visible, planned for, and completed proactively. The outcome? When H3 manages your practice’s credentialing, you and your providers have more time to treat and care for your patients. And less stress doing so.
So, are you going to keep your manual process to manage all those pesky deadlines which could potentially lead to delayed approvals and missed opportunities for growth? Or, are you ready to let an experienced, tech-enabled team like H3 take on managing those tasks for you?
