The High Cost of Doing Nothing: Why Operational Efficiency Can’t Wait

Steve Cela
President, Strategic Office Support

In the fast-paced world of the HME industry, it’s easy to get bogged down by daily challenges. Constantly putting out fires and reacting to immediate issues often leaves little room to focus on the “wildly important goals” that drive true growth.

But here’s the harsh reality: waiting for the perfect moment—when things finally “settle down”—is a recipe for stagnation. That moment may never come, and the cost of inaction is higher than you think.

Operational Efficiency: The Key to Moving Forward

The secret to overcoming these hurdles lies in operational efficiency. For HME providers, this means establishing streamlined workflows and ensuring you have the right number of trained staff to manage your workload.

Unfortunately, many HME businesses are stuck in a cycle of chronic understaffing. The nationwide staffing shortage makes it challenging to recruit, train, and retain the talent needed to maintain operations—let alone grow.

The result? Overworked teams, missed opportunities, and a widening gap between where you are and where you want to be.
