VirtualCMO® Services
Hospital executives across the United States are recognizing an increasing need for effective physician leadership due to the changes in the healthcare industry brought on by the Affordable Care Act and payment reform that focuses on quality outcomes to maximize reimbursement.
Larger hospitals can afford the services of a full-time vice president of medical affairs or chief medical officer. However, smaller hospitals do not have the resources for such a physician executive position, but frequently have as great or greater a need for the services such a physician can provide.
The VirtualCMO has been designed to provide these much needed services at an affordable price.
