HOW IT WORKS

Cattaneo & Stroud works with your organization to define the service area and appropriate need ratios to populate the web tool with zip code level physician, population and payer data. A private portal enables an organization’s staff to run queries to identify physician FTEs and generate community need reports. Following local certification of the physician inventory, Cattaneo & Stroud reviews the final analysis and issues a certified statement of community need.
