Sage Growth Partners (09/12/ 2017, PRNewswire) “A new Sage Growth Partners survey reveals that FQHC competition is on the rise; only one-third of CEOs believe they have the right leadership team at the table.”

There is no argument that being on the leadership team of an FQHC means making hard decisions with the amount of resources you have, and with every decision we become more painfully aware of the lack of data, resources, and funding that our FQHCs have. Whether it be combating the massive turn-over rates, trying to solve the high write offs of the uninsured, to HRSA reporting and audits, there never seems to be enough to help your business run smoother and more effectively.

Sage Growth Partners (SGP) is a Baltimore-based firm whose focus is a research, strategy, and marketing in the field of healthcare. On September 12th, 2017 they announced a survey that highlighted the main challenges that every CEO in today’s federally qualified health center (FQHCs) face. SGP worked with 175 CEOs, which represent 13% of all FQHCs.

Here is a summary of the survey results:

• Profits are the least tracked metric for FQHCs (4th behind PT growth, visit growth, and operating margin)
• FQHCs are looking for alternative payment models
• CEOs are not confident in their leadership team
• Competition within industry (46% cite other FQHCs as source of competition)
• Positive partnerships exist between hospitals, but few opportunities result from them
• Marketing is seen a necessary, but it’s under developed or not a priority
