Fractional Leadership

What Is A Fractional COO?

A fractional COO is a Chief Operating Officer (COO) that an organization, such as a healthcare practice, brings on to assist on a part-time or as-needed basis. These experts provide guidance, expertise, and executive-level leadership to help the practice assess and avoid potential obstacles. They create and implement opportunities for improvement,  to ensure the practice is on the right track for maximum growth,. They align with physician owners to create optimal outcomes.

Unlike traditional COOs, fractional chief operating officers offer their services on a customized basis. Working on an hourly basis, by project, or on value rated terms, these professionals  make excellent resources for smaller-to-medium-sized healthcare organizations that do not have the budget  or the need for a full-time officer.

How Does  A Fractional COO Benefit Your Practice

Hiring a business consultant with years of experience in the healthcare field can only help your medical practice reach new heights. With the right expertise, you would be surprised how quickly your organization grows and improves as we implement practical solutions for all your daily  problems.

When you hire a fractional chief operating officer, you get the experience and resources of an industry veteran without paying a full-time wage and  benefits that would be commanded by a C-Suite Leader.  

Bringing in a COO also helps you run your medical practice’s day-to-day operations, giving you time to focus on long-term strategies and visualize the big picture for the future of your healthcare Practice.  A COO will help support that vision and put it into action. They can wear any number of hats within your organization and execute a variety of roles, depending on your changing needs. 

They allow you to save on your budget and give you time to focus on the most critical aspects of being a medical practitioner, including managing your patients and ensuring they receive the best care possible.
