Feasibility Study and Program Assessment

Feasibility Study

If you are interested in providing wound care, hyperbaric services, or both but are not sure if your market can support a program, then a MATRIX Feasibility Study may be right for your facility. MATRIX takes information from your hospital, your patient population, competing facilities, and calculates your essential elements of success rate. We compare this number with the historical data of over 30 different wound centers to determine what your patient volumes would likely be and if a program would be successful in your area.

The Feasibility Study requires MATRIX consultants to make a site visit to gather needed information from your hospital and meet with key staff members and physicians. A detailed report will be developed as well as a comprehensive proforma using your hospital's specific information.

If additional consulting or management services are requested from MATRIX, the Feasibility Study fees may be deducted.

This program can save you lots of time and resources by preventing you from starting a program without the necessary resources or developing a program in an area that is not likely to produce a sustainable volume of wound and hyperbaric patients.

Program Assessment

Is your program performing optimally? Should you be treating more patients or be more efficient?

Once a wound care and hyperbaric program is developed, there is often little emphasis to continually improve. If your program has been in operation for several years, it might be time to have an outside expert take a look at your program from a new perspective.

MATRIX consultants will assess your current wound center for critical success factors such as: model and focus, resource utilization and profitability, interdepartmental integration, current patient volumes compared to industry norms, leadership, physician issues, wound healing therapies and outcomes compared to national trends, general operations of program, referral base evaluation and appropriateness of referrals, safety, equipment, marketing initiatives, regulatory compliance and more.

MATRIX will make recommendations for improvement in all areas found deficient through a detailed report.
