Strategic Development and Market Growth
TRG's Strategic Development and Market Growth Planning project answers the following key questions for hospitals and multi-hospital healthcare systems:
    Where are we now?
    Where is our market going?
    Where should we be going?
    How do we get there?

Our services are designed to position your program for both short- and long-term success. Key deliverables include:

• Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats
• Environmental Analysis
• Market and Technology Utilization Trends
• Operating Model Review and Recommendations
• Use Rates Projected
• 10 Year Financial Forecasts
• Facility Recommendations
• Scope of Service Recommendations
• Physician Recruitment Needs
• Physician Integration Models
• Outreach and Business Development Recommendations

This interactive process combines objective clinical and financial data with relevant qualitative information gleaned from interviews with your key program stakeholders. TRG will share a national perspective of program success with you and your team during this process.

The project will provide you with innovative market growth strategies, a detailed implementation plan and, most importantly, "buy-in" from your key leaders and physicians. TRG also offers, as an option, a commitment to implement the plan and bring experienced resources to your team to get you there faster.

Interim Program Management
No cardiovascular or orthopedic program can prosper without proven leadership, but finding the "right" person can be a time-consuming effort. In the meantime, it is essential that your program runs smoothly and efficiently, and that your physicians and staff have confidence in the program's direction.

TRG Health Care Solutions has the ability to place proven, experienced cardiovascular and orthopedic program managers on-site at your hospital in an interim capacity to ensure effective program management. During this period, we can also assist in recruiting the successful long-term candidate for the position. All of our interim managers have significant years of experience in managing cardiovascular and orthopedic programs and/or dedicated specialty hospitals, so you may be assured that your service line will thrive during our involvement.
