Virtual CMO
iMPROve Health’s Virtual CMOTM service can ease the burden of managing a small or critical access hospital. In these facilities, duties may be shared among busy staff members who lack the time, proper training, or expertise, which can result in diminished coordination and efficiency, along with medical, legal, and regulatory compliance-related risks. iMPROve Health offers a targeted and flexible array of cost-effective, professional services commonly associated with a fully staffed medical leadership team.
Associated costs for our Virtual CMO service may even be offset based on the hospital’s Medicare reimbursement formula.
Core offerings for our Virtual CMO service include:
Quality Assurance
iMPROve Health has extensive experience providing quality assurance reviews for hospitals, physician groups, health plans, state insurance and licensing agencies, state Medicaid, and the Veterans Healthcare Administration.
Ongoing Professional Practice Evaluation
We have experience in assisting hospital medical staff in performing timely Ongoing Professional Practice Evaluation (OPPE) reviews. We use our comprehensive network of more than 400 physician peer reviewers, covering almost every medical and surgical specialty.
Denial Management

Emergency Treatment
For 14 years, iMPROve Health has performed federally mandated EMTALA hospital sanction reviews. Additionally, we have conducted multiple presentations for hospital staff and physician groups, covering risk avoidance under EMTALA.
