About Hospital Care Consultants
Hospital
Care Consultants was founded in 2003 to support rural and suburban
hospitals in their desire to improve the inpatient care within their
facilities.
Hospital
Care Consultants designs its programs to fit the specific needs of
its client hospitals.
Our client hospitals are always concerned about compassionate and
appropriate, cost-effective patient care, within the scope of the
capabilities of the facility and the local specialists.
Every case that could be admitted but gets transferred or
treated on an outpatient basis is additional revenue the facility
does not receive.
Hospital Care Consultants works closely with its client hospitals, the local primary care physicians, and the emergency department physicians to maximize the appropriate admissions that can be handled within the facility.
Generally, Hospital Care Consultants’ client hospitals see an
increase in admissions of 10% - 15% and a reduction in ED transfers
of up to 20%. As an
added benefit, client hospitals routinely find patient satisfaction
improves, primary care physicians are happier and more supportive of
the hospital, and staff morale increases.
In addition to helping client hospitals start new programs, Hospital Care Consultants is often called upon to help hospitals revamp existing programs that are not meeting their intended goals. Well-managed hospital medicine programs are able to meet the goals of the various stakeholders and achieve the expected extensive benefits.
By partnering with Hospital Care Consultants, the
specialist in rural and suburban hospital medicine programs across
the country, our client hospitals can take advantage of our
experience, avoid the pitfalls of the learning curve, and share best
practices with other client hospitals within our network.
