A structural supported career that cares for more than their symptoms.
Think Whole Person Healthcare in Omaha, Nebraska, actively recruits Primary Care Providers, Specialists, and Advanced Practice Providers (APPs). We operate a physician-led clinical model focused on preventative medicine and comprehensive patient support.
For providers transitioning from private practice or hospital-based models, our organizational structure offers an alternative that prioritizes dedicated clinical time, peer collaboration, and manageable operational workflows. We invest in the personnel and infrastructure required to remove systemic barriers, allowing you to focus squarely on the diagnosis and treatment of your patients.
Why choose Think Whole Person Healthcare?
We are an Accountable Care Organization.
Traditional fee-for-service healthcare models often force physicians onto a volume treadmill, incentivizing the number of procedures rather than the outcome of the patient. Think Whole Person Healthcare operates as an Accountable Care Organization (ACO). For our providers, this means clinical objectives and financial incentives are completely aligned around one goal: keeping patients healthy and out of the hospital.
Aligning Clinical Outcomes with Financial Sustainability
As an ACO, we enter into value-based contracts where we are responsible for the total cost and quality of care for our patient populations. When we successfully manage chronic conditions, utilize preventative care, and keep overall healthcare spending below the projected budget, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and our private payer partners reward our organization with gain-sharing payments.
This model directly benefits our physicians. Rather than relying solely on seeing a high volume of patients every day to maintain revenue, your compensation is supported by shared savings generated through high-quality, proactive care. This allows you to spend more time with patients who have complex needs without sacrificing your financial stability.
Actionable Data and Coordinated Referrals
Operating an ACO gives our organization access to comprehensive claims data across the healthcare continuum. We utilize this data to equip our providers with clear metrics on external specialists throughout the Omaha metro area. When you need to refer a patient outside our facility, you will have access to data showing which specialists provide high-quality care at lower costs. This removes the guesswork from external referrals and ensures your patients receive efficient, effective follow-up care.
Dedicated Resources to Drive ACO Success
Succeeding in an ACO model requires a level of care coordination that a physician cannot manage alone. We provide the infrastructure necessary to achieve these quality metrics. You are supported by:
- 24-Hour Nurse Triage: An internal team that manages patient calls after hours to reduce unnecessary emergency room utilization.
- Clinical Pharmacists: Available on-site for comprehensive medication reviews and managing poly-pharmacy for chronic disease states.
- Nurse Care Coordinators: Dedicated staff who handle chronic care management, remote patient monitoring, and transition-of-care visits after hospital discharges.
Proven Performance Metrics
Our commitment to this model produces verifiable results. Think Whole Person Healthcare currently ranks as the #1 performing ACO in Nebraska and the #2 ACO nationally in the Medicare Shared Savings Program (MSSP) for quality and cost savings. Our average cost per Medicare patient sits 22% to 30% below the national average.
For a transitioning provider, these metrics provide proof of concept. You are joining an established, high-functioning system with a proven track record of reducing physician burden while improving patient outcomes.
A Structured Model for Medical Practice
The traditional healthcare model often places undue administrative and operational demands on physicians. Providers leaving small, independent clinics often seek relief from the overhead of running a business, while those leaving hospital settings are typically looking for more predictable schedules and continuity of patient care.
At think, we organize our clinic around a “Circle of Care.” This model places the patient at the center, with the Primary Care Provider functioning as the primary clinical decision-maker. You are supported directly by an interconnected team of on-site specialists, diagnostic technicians, and care coordinators.
The Circle of Care and On-Site Resources
When you practice at our facility, you have immediate access to on-site resources that streamline diagnostics and patient referrals. Our location houses:
- Full-Service Radiology: X-Ray, CT, Mammography, and Ultrasound.
- Laboratory Services: On-site processing for timely results.
- Clinical Pharmacy: Direct consultation for medication management.
- Specialty Departments: Optometry, Podiatry, Rheumatology, Behavioral Health, and Physical Therapy.
This co-location reduces the friction of referring patients to outside networks. It also provides the distinct advantage of consulting directly with specialty colleagues working within the same building.
Clinical Support and Care Coordination
We assign a dedicated support team to each Primary Care Provider. Your daily clinical workflow is supported by Medical Assistants (MAs) and Registered Nurses (RNs) who handle initial intakes, vitals, and documentation preparation.
Additionally, patients managing chronic or multiple illnesses are assigned a dedicated Nurse Coordinator. This Registered Nurse manages patient education, medication compliance, and preventative health screenings. By handling these necessary tasks, the Nurse Coordinator ensures you can dedicate your appointment times to direct clinic
Clinical Operations and Daily Workflow
Transitioning to a new practice requires a clear understanding of daily expectations. We structure our operations to maintain a sustainable pace for our providers, mitigating the factors that typically lead to physician burnout.
Patient Volume and Scheduling
Primary Care Providers operate on a predictable schedule, consisting of standard clinical hours. Because we operate as an Accountable Care Organization (ACO), our primary metric is keeping patients healthy and reducing catastrophic conditions. Consequently, daily patient volume expectations are calibrated to allow sufficient time for complex cases. You maintain control over your schedule blocks to ensure adequate time for new patient intakes and established patient follow-ups.
Call Rotation and After-Hours Coverage
Protecting your time away from the clinic is a priority. We employ a 24/7 after-hours triage system managed by dedicated nurses. Patients who call after 5:00 PM or on weekends are directed to this nurse line first. This system resolves the majority of after-hours concerns, meaning the on-call physician is only contacted for true clinical escalations. Our on-call rotation is distributed equitably among the provider network.
Compensation, Benefits, and Facility Amenities
We offer a compensation model designed to provide financial stability during your on-boarding phase and reward clinical effectiveness over the long term.
Financial and Benefits Structure
Our compensation packages are built on current regional market data and standard medical benchmarks. We provide medical, dental, and vision insurance, retirement planning options, employer-funded malpractice coverage, and a designated financial allowance for Continuing Medical Education (CME).
Workplace Environment
We recognize that the physical work environment impacts daily job satisfaction. Our Omaha facility is specifically designed to support the wellness of our staff. The building features natural light, ergonomic clinical work spaces, an on-site coffee shop, and a cafeteria operated by an in-house chef. We provide these amenities to ensure our providers have convenient options for meals and breaks during their workday without needing to leave the campus.
