AdvantechHealth represents a new dimension in improving practice business operations while reducing costs for the thousands of independent physician practices throughout the country.

The AdvantechHealth Physicians' Alliance was initiated by two entrepreneurs, Tom Guzek and Matthew Gough who successfully started, built, operated and profitably sold successful businesses over the past 20 years. Their mutual interest was piqued last year when they happened to read about the billions of stimulus fund dollars that were going to be spent by the Federal Government to incentivize eligible physicians to deploy electronic health care records management in their practices.

Both Tom and Matt asked, “How was spending billions of dollars on an EHR program in a practice going to help reduce costs while improving the delivery of healthcare?" They spent months researching this question, intently studying the operations, practices and costs of small physician practices. After considerable review, they determined that the incentive plan was nothing more than another Federal spending program that was aimed in the wrong direction. However, they also found that an opportunity existed for creative thinking and a novel approach to getting physicians to adopt simple technology advancements to gain productivity and reduce cost. The two set out to bring their significant business process experience and the successful use of technology they applied in their other businesses to the small independent physician practice.

Tom and Matt watched as the “traditional” suppliers of practice management software spent millions of dollars in new advertising and marketing campaigns to get their hands on the government stimulus payouts. Every single ad from every health information company was aimed at showing the physician how to “maximize” the stimulus payout and use EHR to enable the physician to see more patients in their already overcrowded day. Not a single company spoke about how the deployment of EHR would allow physicians to significantly reduce their existing costs, while allowing for improved delivery of healthcare. Their objective was to sell another piece of software and get their hands on the stimulus funds flowing to the physicians from the government.

On the other hand, we at AdvantechHealth saw the opportunity to use the EHR technology as the cornerstone of a significant cost cutting initiative that would offer large scale savings to physicians who were willing to adapt to minor changes in the way that they operate their practices and would be willing to adopt a standardized business operating platform. In doing so, significant reductions in operating costs can be extracted from the practice, as well as the ability to use the strength and volume of standardized purchases to negotiate improved pricing from vendors who will also benefit by the standardization. It is a winning combination that has been used in other industries for years. The AdvantechHealth Physicians' Alliance brings this well proven concept to the small independent physician practice.
