Unify EM + HM: One team. Smoother handoffs. Uncompromising care

Your challenge 

When Emergency Medicine (EM) and Hospital Medicine (HM) operate in silos, front-end flow slows, handoffs vary, and sepsis execution falls out of sync. 

Your guide 

Sound can partner with you to unify EM and HM under one accountable, physician-led structure. With on-site leadership, shared priorities, and a repeatable daily cadence, we align teams for:

  • More predictable throughput
  • Fewer avoidable delays
  • A patient experience that reflects your standard

The plan 

  1. Unite leadership and goals. 
  2. One accountable leadership structure with a shared daily rhythm for admissions and sepsis—so decisions move faster and ownership is clear.  
  3. Make handoffs predictable. 
  4. A common admissions playbook across the emergency department (ED), hospitalists, nursing, case management, and pharmacy, with brief transition huddles that assign owners the same day.  
  5. Standardize the sepsis cadence.  
  6. Simple triggers and real-time bundle tracking so every team follows the same plan and clinicians stay focused on patients, not workarounds.
