Medical Directorship

The clinical leadership your organization needs to stay on top of every healthcare issue

Bedsiide offers fractional clinical leadership to support your HR leadership team and to advocate for your employees and your healthcare dollar.

What is a Medical Director?

Our medical directors are clinicians, accomplished in their field, dedicated to helping you optimize the health of your employees and your healthcare dollar. They use their expertise, influence and access to break down barriers that often result in poor healthcare experiences and avoidable cost. They are skilled at clarifying the decisions that best balance the business goals and care outcomes most aligned with the desired outcomes. Bedsiide medical directors partner with your HR leadership and benefit consultants to add on the ground support to your benefit strategy by directing the interactions your high risk employees have with hospital systems, providers and insurance companies to achieve better outcomes and remove avoidable costs. Our medical directors can also provide insight to help your team lead interactions with stop loss carriers.

Case Review

A medical director helps bring clarity around your most expensive and difficult cases. Navigating the healthcare system is confusing and time consuming for your employees and HR leadership team pulling them away from their daily work. Our medical directors can meet with your employee, review medical records and collaborate with the providers delivering their care. They can bring everyone together and back on the same page. Frequently, they discover a breakdown in communication that resulted in an unclear diagnosis, a misunderstood management plan and undesired outcomes for the employee. They intervene to avoid confusion, fear and unnecessary cost. When cases are reviewed by a medical director that knows you, your organization and your employees, unnecessary spending and poor outcomes can be avoided.

Clinical Advocacy

When we meet with HR leaders and consultants they have great insight into the issues employees face, but they lack the clinical expertise and access to the health systems to make an impact. Employers need an advocate. Our medical directors and their team are the voice you need to address the growing cost and worsening experiences your employees face. Our clinical team includes the health advocates, pharmacy benefits advocates, nurses and specialists necessary to come along side your employees during their healthcare journey. Our team can help employees identify their health goals and navigate the system to achieve their desired result.

COVID-19 and general policy guidance

COVID-19 has shown us how quickly our lives and businesses can change in response to a health crisis. Businesses pivoted to work from home and HR leadership found themselves creating and adapting health policies to ever changing state and federal guidance. Our medical directors came along side business and HR leadership to share up to the minute information about health guidelines, the virus and the vaccines. Our population health team consulted on return-to-work guidelines, creating simple algorithms based on best practices that managers could use daily to make decisions.

Benefit program alignment and utilization

Our clients need strong benefit programs to attract and maintain the best employees. Maintaining solid benefit programs and ensuring employees utilize the benefits to their potential is a struggle. We have found communication is key. Employees will not use what they do not fully understand and quite frankly may have forgotten about altogether. Annual benefit enrollment activities lead to a flurry of information that typically gets put into a file folder not to be looked at again until next year. We keep benefit programs at front of mind with employees with curated health related content and video communications sent to them throughout the year. Our medical directors help align these messages to the priorities and program strategy set by leadership. Does your team lack a strategy? No problem, our medical director and population health team are ready to help you craft one that meets your goals.
