physician clinics and outpatient centers. We are very skilled at assisting
medical organizations with finding answers to some of the toughest strategic and
operational challenges that they are facing. Case studies demonstrating PIE,

- Clinic Strategic Plan. A 28 physician clinic is looking to
clarify its long-term strategic directions (Should it open a new satellite
clinic? Should it continue to accept patients from a certain HMO?
How should income be divided? Should it recruit new specialists?).
PIE, Inc. is retained. The consultation process includes assessments of
the external competitive environment as well as the internal climate and views
of stakeholders; a stakeholder retreat is held to review the results of these
assessments and then to compare and contrast alternative strategic visions;
PIE, Inc. creates a detailed strategic plan based on the feedback from this
retreat; a final stakeholder meeting is held to put the finishing touches on
the new strategic plan.

facilitates agreement on terms and goals, coordinates the due diligence
process, and develops detailed plans for the merging operations. PIE,

assess the feasibility of initiating a new collaborative business venture.
PIE, Inc. is retained to manage the feasibility and business planning process.
PIE, Inc. moderates meetings of the principals, performs market research,
coordinates the work of other experts (e.g., lawyers, accountants, building
contractors, third party administrators, informatics companies), and
facilitates the emergence of a common vision and business plan. A
business plan is created and PIE, Inc. continues to play a supportive role
once the business is operational, growing, and successful.
- Operations Improvement. A large clinic is dissatisfied the
performance of its business office. Problems are manifest in billing,
collections, health plan contracting and even patient dissatisfaction.

internal operation using objective benchmarks and qualitative reviews, then
