--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Surgical Affiliates Management Group:
|
What: |
Many hospitals today do not realize the significant improvements that can be made to their overall performance—in improved clinical outcomes, lower length of stay, and lower costs—by adopting a comprehensive surgical hospitalist program. Like hospitalist programs were 20 years ago, surgical hospitalist programs are a new model, and early adopters will achieve a significant competitive advantage. |
|||
|
Bringing a team approach with evidence-based care guidelines to acute surgery services is much more than an answer to the problem of consistent call coverage—it is a proven solution that delivers better care, increased profitability, appropriately increases CMI, and creates a “halo” effect throughout the hospital by improving responsiveness and efficiencies across multiple departments. With these programs, hospitals are better equipped for the new world of value-based purchasing and pay-for-performance. |
||||
|
The first published outcomes from a five-year surgical hospitalist program at Sutter Medical Center, Sacramento, in collaboration with Surgical Affiliates Medical Group, recently appeared in the Journal of the American College of Surgeons. |

| This webinar, hosted by Leon J. Owens, M.D., founder, CEO and president of Surgical Affiliates Management Group, and Richard SooHoo, chief financial officer, Sutter Medical Center, Sacramento, presents those results, along with insights into the hospital’s experience in achieving them and recommendations for hospitals who would like to achieve similar success. | ||||
