3d Health provided their deliverables ahead of schedule and our key stakeholders including CEOs, physicians, general counsel, and strategists are highly satisfied with the end product. Most importantly, these leaders have in their hands a tool they trust for medical staff development planning and strategy development on a go forward basis.
Do you know what physician opportunities exist within your market? Do you have the optimal mix of medical staff to meet your strategic goals? Do you have a detailed recruiting plan? Is it compliant? Developing a medical staff development plan requires a proven methodology, access to credible data, and a strategic bent.
At 3d Health, our Medical Staff Development Planning approach provides a real-world assessment that helps you identify both market opportunities and the right mix of physicians for your organization. We combine senior management insight, medical staff perspective, best-of-industry data, and a proprietary prioritization framework to establish a strategic Medical Staff Development Plan.
The 3d Health team has completed well over 140 comprehensive plans and 1,000 single specialty community need reports and has developed a compliant, robust methodology that can help answer the aforementioned questions.
The 3d Health approach:
- Gains insight into local market dynamics through interviews with Senior Management and Medical Staff Members
- Administers and analyzes a well-tested Medical Staff Survey via an electronic and/or paper instrument
- Projects physician demand by geography across 33 office-based specialties utilizing 3d Health's proprietary, actuarial-based Physician Resource model

- Collects hospital and community physician supply via primary and secondary research
- Identifies market opportunities for physicians across the service area
- Translates hospital demand into required physician FTEs using market share goals
- Calculates physician surpluses and/or deficits by geography resulting in both Physician Opportunity and Community Need Analyses
- Prioritizes physician resource requirements for the hospital within a three year Medical Staff Development Plan
