Built and operated by surgeons who understand your practice, from OR to boardroom.
Here, we work with our physician and surgeon partners to build the future of healthcare. We’re passionate about keeping clinical decisions local, and we never interfere with our partners’ medical processes. Our team provides the national-scale infrastructure and resources our partners need to grow.
Our strategic services help our partners achieve sustainable growth without losing control of their practice’s culture, leadership, or goals. We understand that delivering top-tier community care is your priority, so we align our strategies with your local market conditions and patient trends.
Business Operations
Our team brings decades of healthcare and business experience to every partnership. We understand the realities of navigating the modern healthcare landscape, and our business ops services help eliminate complexity and streamline back-office operations. With our support, you’ll spend less time working on administrative tasks and more time caring for your patients.
IT & Security
Comprehensive data privacy and cybersecurity measures are requirements for modern orthopedic practices. Keeping patient data secure helps build community trust. Our process includes an extensive tech evaluation to identify vulnerabilities and potential risks, along with targeted recommendations and ongoing software support to prevent future data security issues.
Contracting & Financial Optimization
Financial challenges can quickly escalate and impact care delivery, so our financial management services are designed to help you bring a consistent, positive experience to your patients. We support risk management, payer and reimbursement networks, and budget allocation. Our services improve operational stability and efficiency, helping our partners work with confidence and security.
Clinical Excellence & Quality Programs
At AOP, we believe top-tier, national-level clinical excellence should be available to all patients, regardless of practice size or specialty. We provide the resources, quality control infrastructure, and talent investment you need to steadily improve your processes, develop staff skills, and monitor success metrics across your practice.
