Marketware’s Approach to Streamlined Physician Onboarding

It takes a lot of moving parts from various departments to ensure a provider has everything they need when starting at a new facility. Marketware recognized that cross-departmental communication was the biggest threat to a provider’s start date changing, resulting in a poor onboarding experience.

By using onboarding projects and advanced reporting, Marketware takes these processes out of spreadsheets and supports the complex, system-wide processes involved in effective physician integration.

So, how can Marketware’s Physician Onboarding Platform benefit your active onboarding process over others? Let’s get into it.

Track Physician-Specific Information

A typical applicant tracking system allows you to create a candidate profile. However, Marketware includes fields that are relevant to physician onboarding. You will see some of our standard physician-related fields in the Physician Profile below. Additionally, our platform allows you to create custom fields so you can capture valuable insights unique to your organization.

While this overview calls out physician-related fields on a person’s profile, they are not indicative of all fields available to create a comprehensive lead or candidate profile.

What are Onboarding Projects?

Onboarding Projects allow you to support cross-team collaboration during new physician onboarding with customizable templates. Marketware’s templates enable you to easily visualize pipelines and open activities, allowing teams from across your organization to document and work on best practices for new physician launches. This can improve a new physician’s satisfaction, practice performance, and long-term retention.

Benefits of Implementing Technology into Your Onboarding Process

The right physician and provider onboarding software turns all those siloed departmental checklists into a master onboarding process of sequential key tasks to be completed within a certain timeframe. By storing this information in a centralized location, all responsible parties can access, communicate about, and complete their tasks in real time. Leaders and/or onboarding coordinators can also utilize pre-made dashboards and produce roll-up reporting. These reports highlight key trends, gaps, or lags in processes, as well as at-risk providers that need attention to help them meet their start date.

Track Progress

Keep managers informed of what’s going on at the account and team levels or how physicians are progressing through the process.

Support Cross-Team Collaboration

Enable seamless communication between multiple teams & keep track of conversations.

Visualize Complex Pipelines

Easily view the entire onboarding process and open activities to document and work on new physician launches.

Enhanced Reporting

Leverage data-driven insights to refine your onboarding strategy and demonstrate its impact.

Key Onboarding Project Features

Customizable Project Templates

By using our project templates, you can manage a process in one place so that all departments are on the same page. Onboarding projects are copied from templates to ensure consistency across each provider’s onboard experience. Create 1 or more templates to apply to each experience including specialists, virtual health practitioners, retention efforts, or even residents. Regardless of the specific use case, our project templates allow you to customize the template to fit your organization’s needs.

Cross-Team Collaboration Efforts

We created the onboarding process to ensure departments could collaborate and follow up on dependent processes. Project processes are broken down into project groups, from which activities are created. Project Groups are usually separated by department during the onboarding process, and are composed of a number of tasks or activities.

Utilize linked activities on an activity to create dependencies on activities so departments and users are notified when a blocker is completed and they can start work on their own item.

Mention colleagues on activities to identify or notify needs for an activity to get done — these mentions will email the user so they never miss out on important communication efforts.

Global Status Board

Each project includes a status board classifying each provider as on track, at risk, off track, and completed. These statuses are determined based on overdue activities relative to the provider’s start date. Concerned about missing a start date due to blocks out of your control? No problem! Changing the provider’s start date is possible and you can tie reasons to the change to report on later.

Want to see a larger picture of all providers in progress? This same picture can be accessed on the global status board which combines all providers across all projects to report on everything at once.

Provider Cards

Tracking each provider’s progress granularly is easy through the provider overview. Each provider overview has a breakdown of the progress of each project group and can help leaders identify where there might be stickiness, and which departments might need extra support in order for the process to keep moving effectively. This kind of reporting allows for accountability and adjustment to processes so the onboarding process is efficient.
