MAARSS uses a MultiParty model which
is unique and creative! Our experts directly show that an imbalance
within essential working relationships and systems creates negative
consequences for patient care, safety and the organization. Negative
results manifest themselves in medical errors, complications, unnecessary
procedures and decreased quality of services. With you, we can solve
problems by building bridges with all partners in the healthcare
sector.
By use of the MultiParty Model we
know that it also has a positive impact on your company's bottom
line by targeting loss prevention and risk assessments. We work
with you to save money by identifying the origins and root causes
of conflict by avoiding the adversarial win-lose approach and move
toward interest-based resolution!

Bridges to Various
Healthcare Sectors
Purpose
Creating a collaborative effort amongst all healthcare related parties,
together we identify conflict origins and develop workable mutual
interest based resolutions.
Example:
Identified Disruptive Imbalances do exist within:
- Patient Care and Safety Disputes
- Public/Private Sector Disputes
- Medical Staff / Hospital Disputes
- Medical Groups / Hospital Disputes
- Nursing Staff / Hospital Disputes
- Financial / Expenses
Using our MultiParty Model we build the bridges of resolution to improve
these imbalances.
Another example of this imbalance exists with the Insurance Industry.
Example:
Identified Disruptive Imbalances do exist within:
- Healthcare Dispute
- Eligibility Dispute
- Union / Employer Dispute
- Termination of Benefits Dispute
- Claims Disputes
- EEO Disputes
Another example exists within the company between the employer,
employee and benefits consultant.
Example:
Employers are purchasers of healthcare insurance and focus predominantly
on price.
ZERO-SUM
COMPETITION
- wrong objective (emphasis on low price rather than value/outcomes)
- wrong information (plan information rather than quality outcomes)
POSITIVE-SUM
COMPETITION
- shift from "who pays" to "who provides best value
and health promoting care"?
- move to cost and quality to effect value outcome based on money
spent.
Employers will need to lead the way to:
- discourage wrong type competition
- encourage insurers to offer plans that compete in better ways
We help employers understand the positive and necessary relationship
between cost and quality. We have a keen commitment to understand
your needs and feelings to provide affordable healthcare for your
family of employees. That is why we tell you "what you should
do, how you should do it and why" because certainty gives you
the trust to work with us on your behalf. Our success relies on
your success. We want you to become the expert and take the necessary
action and not make a mistake.
An important article published by the Harvard Business Review "Redefining
Competition in Healthcare", by Michael Porter and Elizabeth
Olmsed Teisberg, June, 2004 sheds some light on these issues.
Reduce Conflict
and Cost
As a management and conflict resolution service, we continually
think of new ideas that will help reduce cost, reduce conflict and
increase patient safety. Having experience in and knowing how the
healthcare system functions gives us that competitive edge. By brainstorming
amongst HMOs, physicians and professional liability insurers, we
collectively strive to construct systems that will reduce liability
premiums and increase professional reimbursement.
For the HMO
|
Money is saved with the collaboration of physicians
through quality outcome data leading to avoidance of
overuse, misuse and underuse of valuable healthcare
resources. A positive surge in trust from physicians,
creating improved working relationships and higher reimbursement
to physicians.
|
For the Physician
|
Scientific based quality outcome data
is negotiated with insurers for higher reimbursement.
Safer patient care outcomes are valuable to provide
risk management benefits.
|
For the Liability Insurers
|
Less money paid for claims by providing quality outcome
data. Consideration for reduced liability premiums for
physicians who provide this outcome data.
|
For the Patient
|
Greater safety, satisfaction and quality improvement
|
For the Community Served
|
Working toward covering the uninsured. |
This Equals:
Saved Time, Cost and Conflict
The
key to reduced time, cost and conflict is by targeted earlier intervention
