Client Overview
Our client, Pro Physio is a prominent healthcare provider in India, specializing in integrated health, pediatric care, performance enhancement, rehabilitation, and specialized wellness services. With a substantial footprint across the country. They manage numerous healthcare facilities providing a wide range of physiotherapy and wellness services. Their aim was to enhance operational efficiency and patient care through a centralized and cloud-based solution.
Requirement
The client needed a sophisticated cloud-based physiotherapy solution to unify and streamline their operations across 60 locations throughout India. They sought to address several critical issues: managing appointments, handling billing and task allocations, and ensuring consistent service delivery. It should maintain high standards of performance and security. Centralized oversight from their headquarters was crucial to ensure seamless management and real-time access to data across all locations.
Challenges
The client faced several challenges that hindered operational efficiency and expansion:
- Centralized Appointments Management: Coordinating and assessing therapists’ workloads across multiple locations proved to be a complex task. The lack of a unified system made it difficult to manage and optimize appointment scheduling effectively.
- Complex Service Management: Each location offered various services with unique billing processes, discounts, and referral management practices. This complexity made it challenging to maintain consistency and track service delivery and financial performance comprehensively.
- Billing Difficulties: Billing was conducted locally at each site, leading to difficulties in tracking and consolidating revenue in real-time. This fragmentation hindered financial oversight and management.
- Delayed Expansion: The absence of robust business intelligence (BI) tools impeded the client’s ability to make informed decisions about expansion and performance optimization. Without real-time insights, strategic growth opportunities were often missed.
Solution
To address these challenges, we designed and implemented a robust cloud-based physiotherapy solution. The process began with a detailed assessment of the client’s business model, including engagement strategies, pricing, therapist operations, and patient onboarding processes. This analysis was crucial for customizing the solution to fit the client’s specific needs.
We then defined the project scope, boundaries, timeline, and milestones, and established a clear communication strategy to ensure all stakeholders were aligned throughout the implementation. Data migration from paper-based systems to electronic formats was carried out to improve data accessibility and management.
The implementation included several key components: an outpatient management system to streamline scheduling and task management across all locations. It is an electronic medical records (EMR) system for various therapies to enhance patient record-keeping; a mobile app to facilitate patient engagement; and video consulting capabilities to expand service reach. A communication management system was also integrated to improve internal and external communication. Business intelligence tools were introduced to provide location-specific real-time data and analytics, enabling better decision-making. Additionally, accounting and finance reporting systems were put in place to monitor performance and financial health across centers, and a CRM system was implemented for improved lead and patient relationship management.
Values Delivered
The implementation of the cloud-based solution brought significant benefits.
Expansion: The client successfully expanded by adding 11 new branches, a testament to the enhanced operational efficiency and scalability provided by the new system.
Patient Engagement: Patient engagement saw a boost through WhatsApp integration, which improved communication and retention rates.
Business Intelligence: The BI tools offered real-time insights into location-wise appointments, patient visits, and revenue, facilitating more informed and strategic decision-making.
Streamlined Operations: Overall, the centralized management of appointments, billing, and task allocations enhanced operational consistency and efficiency across all locations.
Conclusion
The deployment of the cloud-based physiotherapy solution fundamentally transformed the client’s multi-location operations. By addressing key challenges and leveraging advanced technologies, the client achieved improved efficiency, growth, and patient care.
