Surgical Specialty Clinic Development and Staffing

Large outpatient clinic networks increasingly seek to expand specialty services in order to improve access to surgical care for their patient populations. However, developing effective surgical clinics requires careful attention to referral pathways, staffing, and coordination with hospital partners.

IQ Surgical Associates works with health systems and community clinic organizations to design and implement sustainable surgical outpatient services.

Typical areas of support include:

• Establishing general surgery and specialty surgical clinics within community health centers

• Designing referral and triage pathways between primary care and surgical services

• Developing clinic workflows appropriate for high-volume outpatient environments

• Providing experienced surgeons to staff clinics during program development or expansion
