1.Monitors and Report Revenue Expenses. E.g. Suppose the manager notices an increase in equipment mainte­nance costs. In that case, they might analyze the cause (such as aging equipment) and adjust the budget to accomm­odate repairs or replac­ements.
1. Hires or dismisses staff members. E.g. The manager might interview several candidates for a vacant physical therapist position and select the most qualified individual based on their experi­ence, skills, and fit with the team. In the same way, if the manager find a staff member not competent enough for the post they are hired on you dismis­s/fire them.
1. Analyze Produc­ibi­lity. E.g. The manager may establish perfor­mance metrics, such as patient volume per therapist or average treatment duration, to assess produc­tivity levels. If there's a decline in produc­tivity, the manager might conduct perfor­mance reviews, provide additional training, or adjust staffing levels accord­ingly to maintain efficiency without compro­mising quality of care.
1. Analyze data for Quality Assurance. E.g. The manager oversees quality assurance initia­tives, such as patient satisf­action surveys and clinical audits, to identify areas for improv­ement.
2. Requests for Funding.
2. Evaluate their perfor­mance. E.g. The manager meets regularly with each physical therapist to discuss their caseload, patient outcomes, and profes­sional develo­pment goals. If necessary, you might offer constr­uctive feedback or recommend additional training opport­unities to help them improve their perfor­mance.
2. Implement risk management program. E.g. The manager identify and mitigate financial risks that could impact the clinic's sustai­nab­ility or reputa­tion. This might involve implem­enting internal controls to prevent billing errors or fraud, conducting audits to ensure compliance with financial policies, or mainta­ining approp­riate insurance coverage.
2. Make internal reports.
