Is My Gastroenterology Practice Optimized for Patient Care?
As a gastroenterologist, patient care is at the heart of everything you do. From diagnostic excellence to long-term treatment strategies, you continuously strive to improve outcomes and patient satisfaction.
However, in the evolving world of specialty medicine, access to treatment remains a persistent concern. Fortunately, there is an often-overlooked area that can significantly enhance your standard of care: integrating in-office biologic therapies.
Offering biologic therapies on-site isn’t just a matter of convenience; it’s a strategic move that can transform your practice and improve the lives of your patients.
At Altus Biologics, we help practices like yours streamline the delivery of biologic treatments through in-office infusion suites tailored to your current business model.
Enhancing Patient Care Through In-Office Biologic Therapy
The traditional model of referring patients to off-site infusion centers or hospital-based outpatient departments presents several challenges, including delays in care, limited scheduling flexibility, and reduced continuity in the treatment journey.
These gaps can hinder patient adherence and, ultimately, outcomes, especially in chronic conditions like Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, where timely treatment can prevent flare-ups and hospitalization.
Integrating biologic therapies directly into your practice bridges those gaps. It allows you to keep care within your walls, providing patients with a familiar, trusted environment.
You have direct oversight of treatment protocols, enhanced communication with your care team, and the ability to respond to patient needs in real time. This continuity fosters stronger physician-patient relationships and drives better clinical outcomes.
The Tangible Benefits of On-Site Biologic Therapy
Offering in-office biologic infusions yields several tangible benefits for both your patients and your practice:
Improved Access & Adherence: When patients don’t have to travel to a separate facility or wait weeks for appointments, they’re more likely to stay on schedule and adhere to therapy regimens.
Reduced Treatment Delays: With on-site infusions, you can eliminate common barriers such as insurance bottlenecks and scheduling backlogs often experienced at hospital-based centers.
Elevated Patient Satisfaction and Treatment Outcomes: Patients appreciate the convenience, comfort, and personal attention they receive when receiving treatment in your office, a familiar, trusted setting. Research indicates that this factor can significantly impact treatment outcomes and improve quality of life.
Increased Practice Efficiency: Keeping patients in-house for treatment streamlines workflow, improves continuity of care, and can contribute to new revenue streams under value-based care models.
