Recently, I was catching up with a colleague I’ve known professionally for years. As we chatted, I mentioned that I had streamlined my consulting services, one of which is offering Fractional Practice Administration.

Her response? “Can you tell me what ‘fractional’ means?”

That question hit me like a ton of bricks. If she didn’t know, how many others out there had the same question—but were too embarrassed to ask? Was my messaging truly reaching the people who needed it?

So, if you’ve been wondering the same thing, let me break it down.

What Does “Fractional” Mean?

The term fractional refers to a part-time or as-needed leadership role, rather than a full-time, in-house position. It’s common in industries like finance (think Fractional CFOs) and marketing (Fractional CMOs), but many medical practices haven’t heard of Fractional Practice Administration—yet.

Why Small Medical Practices Need Fractional Practice Administration

A Fractional Practice Administrator provides the expertise and leadership of a full-time administrator—but without the full-time commitment or cost.

Maybe your practice needs strategic guidance but not a 40-hour-a-week executive. Or perhaps you don’t have the budget for a full-time administrator, but you still need help managing operations, improving workflows, and making smart business decisions.

How a Small Practice Benefits from Fractional Administration

One of my clients is a small but busy medical practice—just one provider and two staff members. They don’t need a full-time practice administrator, but they also don’t have the time to monitor KPIs, manage ongoing projects, or stay ahead of industry changes.

That’s where I come in. I dedicate one day a week to handling their administrative tasks, tracking key performance indicators, and ensuring their processes run smoothly. But my support isn’t limited to that day—they can call or email anytime with questions or concerns, and I “just handle it” for them.

The result? Less stress, more efficiency, and a practice that runs like a well-oiled machine—without the overhead of a full-time hire. It’s a win-win.

Is Fractional Practice Administration Right for Your Practice?

If your practice could benefit from expert guidance without the cost of a full-time administrator, Fractional Practice Administration might be the perfect solution.
