HME SPRINGBOARDS
Our Annual HME Handbook Offers 10 Ways to Leap Forward
How-to Articles to Help HMEs Leap up to the Next Level
With tight reimburse- ment pressures and a hyper-com- petitive market, HME providers are continually looking for ways to level-up when it comes to driving new revenues and fine-tuning their business operations . That’s why we’ve been assembling our annual HME Handbook issue since 2008 to give HME professionals new ideas into how they can deal with industry changes, improve their performance, and protect their businesses .
The articles themselves offer “springboards” that provide details on new market opportunities, help providers understand and address a key market challenge, develop a winning strategy, or improve their back-office operations so that they cut costs and operate more efficiently . Each article offers a broad introduc- tion on each topic, then dives into the finer points related to each subject, and then offers ways to learn more .
For the 2019 edition of the HME Handbook, we present 10 different articles on topics including financing, new market opportunities in pain management, specialized accredita- tion, educating portable oxygen patients, patient workflow automation, and more . Like in previous HME Handbooks, we’re looking to help you take the next great leap forward .
