Strategy

Our services encompass three main areas, GME Strategy, GME Opportunity Assessment, and Program Value. In each of these areas, we will work with you and your leadership team to better understand the organization's needs. Whether you're looking to understand the as-is environment better, understand what programs are possible, or evaluate current GME programs to determine their value, Germane will partner with you to determine the optimal solution.

GME Strategy

We will partner with you to understand the current hospital environment, identify what is possible given the available resources, and create a plan that will serve as your blueprint for the successful implementation of your future Graduate Medical Education enterprise. The strategic plan will be aligned and supportive of your organization's mission, strategic direction, and operational challenges and will serve as your overarching strategic and financial GME plan.

GME New Program Opportunity Assessment

An essential part of a GME Strategic plan is determining what programs make sense and for an organization and can be supported. In this service offering, Germane will evaluate key service data along with strategic direction and operational objectives to identify opportunities for the development of new programs.

Program Value

Each GME program provides a unique set of benefits to a health care organization. Understanding each program's operational, financial, and strategic contributions helps frame the value proposition for each. Germane will work with your organization to identify a framework for the evaluation of each program. Attributes such as recruitment, satisfaction, financial status, service coverage, and alignment with strategic objectives will be evaluated and used to determine the programs' role in the new GME strategy. We will also evaluate national best practices in evaluating how well existing programs are doing. Recommendations may include resizing, relocating, or implementing operational changes to the programs to allow for maximum value to your organization.

VISIONING

Germane will schedule a half to full day visioning session with identified personnel to educate, strategize, and discuss opportunities for GME growth, development, and/or improvement. With the constantly changing landscape of GME, Germane will bring the most up-to-date strategic information and opportunities to identify the best path forward for your organization.

These case studies provide insight into how we put these offerings together to create value for you.
