From Assessment to Autonomous Operations

A 7-phase deployment model engineered for FQHCs and healthcare facilities — from operational assessment to full pod autonomy.

1
Assessment

Operational Assessment

Assess capacity gaps, patient panel needs, EHR systems. Define clinical deployment strategy and revenue optimization.

2
Agreement

Clinical Affiliation Agreement

CAA executed, scope of practice defined. Liability, billing, and operational frameworks formally established.

Credentialing

60-Day Credentialing Runway

Pre-vetted packets arrive 60 days before deployment: licensure, certifications, immunizations, background checks.

4
Pre-Training

EHR Pre-Training

Students trained on facility's specific EHR (Epic, Cerner, eCW, Athena). Arrive proficient and productive on Day 1.

5
Phase 1 · Days 1-5

Systems Integration

Students embed as EHR scribes, clear chart backlogs. Learn facility workflows and patient populations.

6
Phase 2 · Weeks 2-4

Collaborative Care

Students handle intakes, exams, treatment plans under preceptor oversight. Progressive clinical responsibility.

7
Phase 3 · Week 5+

Autonomous Pod Operations

Built for FQHCs and Healthcare Facilities

5 Clinical Specialty Tracks

FNP (Family), PMHNP (Psychiatric-Mental Health), AGNP (Adult-Gerontology), PNP (Pediatric), WHNP (Women's Health).

FQHC Revenue Model

$207.72 PPS base rate per encounter (2026). New patient/IPPE/AWV encounters at approximately $271.88.

HRSA/UDS Metric Alignment

Students mandated to complete HRSA data gathering aligned with your weakest UDS metrics — hypertension, depression screenings, diabetes control.

Zero Supervision Tax

Acuity provides its own faculty preceptors who serve as billing providers of record. Host staff sacrifice zero productivity.

Fee-for-Service Comparison

Standard fee-for-service encounters: $40-$80. FQHC retains 10-15% administrative fee on PPS encounters. Significant revenue uplift.

Job Vacancy Posting Engine

Post open roles directly to our credentialed talent pool. Recruitment from the rotation pipeline built into the platform.

Foolproof Answers to Common Questions

What does "zero cost" mean?

Host facility provides only 2-3 exam rooms and a workstation. 100% of billing/PPS revenue retained by host. No payments from students or preceptors. No stipends from host facility.

What is the PPS encounter rate?

Current Medicare FQHC PPS base rate is $207.72 per encounter (2026). New patient/IPPE/AWV encounters at approximately $271.88. Standard fee-for-service comparison: $40-$80 per encounter.

Will this strain our clinical staff?

No. Acuity provides its own faculty preceptors who serve as billing providers of record. Zero supervision tax. Host staff sacrifice zero productivity.

How does the 60-day credentialing work?

Pre-vetted packets arrive 60 days before deployment: licensure, certifications, immunizations, background verifications — sequenced against your medical staff office timeline.

Can we recruit from the pipeline?

Yes — Job Vacancy Posting Engine lets you post open roles directly to our talent pool.

What about HRSA/UDS metrics?

Students mandated to complete HRSA data gathering aligned with your weakest UDS metrics — hypertension, depression screenings, diabetes control — driving up quality performance scores.

Are the students qualified?

Every NP student is already a licensed, experienced Registered Nurse. All complete pre-deployment EHR training on your specific system.

What clinical specialties do you cover?

5 tracks: FNP (Family), PMHNP (Psychiatric-Mental Health), AGNP (Adult-Gerontology), PNP (Pediatric), WHNP (Women's Health).
