Employees Benefit from PMI/Hendrick Health Training Partnership
SAN ANTONIO (PRWEB) March 27, 2018 -- Investing in employees through education translates into higher job satisfaction, loyalty, and overall performance, says Hendrick Health, an 11-time winner of the Gallup Great Workplace Award. Practice Management Institute (PMI) today announced that its training partnership with the health system has reported high employee satisfaction, retention and loyalty for its physicians, mid-level healthcare providers and administrative employees.
Hendrick Health System is a not-for-profit, community-focused healthcare network located in Abilene, Texas. The system serves 19 counties in the state, helping people access a variety of cutting-edge healthcare services. As part of its community focus, Hendrick’s leadership is heavily invested in educational opportunities, which enable healthcare providers and other staff members to provide care at the highest skill levels possible.
Since 2014, experts from PMI have worked with Hendrick employees to increase their knowledge base and skill sets. Early on, focus centered on the ICD-9-CM to ICD-10-CM transition, with clinicians learning various techniques for medical coding and provider compliance. In 2016, PMI trainers conducted 22 separate classes, with help from a partial Texas Workforce Development grant and in partnership with Texas State Technical College, to train Hendrick Health office managers in HIPAA and medical compliance. Medical coding, billing and other subjects for front office staff members were also presented.
As part of a new educational curriculum, PMI will continue to offer unique opportunities for Hendrick staff members to receive the education they need in order to be successful with medical administrative tasks. Fifteen classes will take place in the coming months, focused on medical coding, billing, compliance, management, and front office skills. Physicians, mid-level providers, office managers and office staff all stand to benefit from this incredible variety of educational opportunities.
David Womack, president and CEO of PMI, says, “We’re thrilled to partner with Hendrick Health System to fulfill its employees’ educational needs. Part of providing the best care to patients is making sure every interaction with them, from clinical visits to billing, proceeds in a way that adheres to the most up-to-date standards. We know our 2018 course offerings will help Hendrick Health achieve and maintain the highest standard of medical compliance.”
Hendrick’s dedication to improving staff competence is only part of its commitment to employee engagement and success. This and other investments in its employees have put Hendrick Health on the map as an 11-time winner of the Gallup Great Workplace Award. Hendrick’s commitment to employee excellence helps employees across the system excel at their work and provide the best care possible to patients.
Womack says, “Hendrick Health System should be an example to other healthcare organizations, in terms of the lengths it goes to so its employees have all the tools for success. It’s exciting to be a part of the educational achievements for our Hendrick partners.”
