Academic & Teaching
We deliver clinical, academic and financial value to academic medical centers, medical schools and major teaching hospitals by embedding our performance management engine and providing the practice management expertise needed to run a high-functioning hospitalist program.
Academic and teaching hospitals need these services to balance financial performance, the clinical enterprise and their teaching mission in an era of payment reform, increased restrictions on resident duty hours and shrinking GME budgets.
To discuss our academic hospitalist services, please contact Amin Neghabat, Senior VP of Business Development, at 253-682-6018 or by e-mail.
Financial Performance
Academic medical centers and major teaching hospitals face mounting pressure to reduce costs and deliver care at Medicare payment levels. During the first year of our partnership with a tertiary academic medical center, we drove down cost per case by $1,047, while seeing an annual volume of over 6,000 admissions – creating a cost savings of over $6 million.
Clinical Enterprise
Academic and teaching hospitals leverage the clinical innovation developed by our lean-certified healthcare teams to improve HCAHPS scores and reduce readmissions. Our deep informatics bench allows us to measure and manage individual physician performance.
Teaching Mission
Our hospitalists provide high-value coverage that enables faculty to focus on education. We are committed to training physicians and residents in the business of medicine and life skills critical to being an effective hospital-based physician.
