Mentat
Systems Inc was founded in 1991 to address medical
management problems that were rampant in the heath care industry
at the time: Increased governmental regulations, increased
liability, more complex procedures and the public’s increased
disenchantment with perceived decreases in quality of care
combined into an unpleasantly unstable mess that administrators
had to handle daily. Physician reaction to that increasingly
difficult environment was multivariate, but generally negative.
Although it was clear that the issues surrounding the delivery
of quality care to patients depended heavily on management of
the medical staff, there was little expertise available to
accomplish the task.
The
situation has not gotten appreciably better with the passage of
time. Steadily increasing requirements for documentation,
quality of care and privacy, coupled with increasing complexity
of business models have magnified the negative effects of new
forms of competition and shrinking profit margins.
Mentat
Systems Inc. develops, renegotiates and rearranges structures
and the relationships that underlie conflicts and stresses that
characterizes most modern healthcare environments and/or practices
through the three step process of
diagnosis, prescription and
implementation (DPI).
Through its principals and a network of affiliated consultants
and associate companies, Mentat Systems Inc. is able
to provide healthcare consulting services of almost any
magnitude, spanning an entire heath delivery system or dedicated
to one small segment of a
practice.
