2. How is Core different from other EM and HM groups?

Unlike large, impersonal staffing companies, Core offers a hybrid model: local clinical autonomy supported by national infrastructure. We are debt-free, physician-led, and focused on sustainable partnerships—not one-size-fits-all contracts.

3. What types of hospitals does Core work with?

We partner with community hospitals, rural facilities, regional health systems, and academic medical centers. Each partnership is customized to the hospital’s size, goals, and patient population.

4. How does Core Clinical Partners improve ED and Hospitalist performance?

We use evidence-based protocols, performance dashboards, and engaged leadership to reduce ED boarding times, optimize rounding, improve patient satisfaction, and align with your throughput and quality goals.

5. What results can hospitals expect when partnering with Core?

Hospitals working with Core have seen 8+ point increases in HCAHPS physician communication scores, 30–40% reductions in ED wait times, and improvements in LOS and discharge by noon rates. Every engagement includes KPIs and data reviews to ensure progress.

6. What is Core CARES?

Core CARES is our patient experience model: Communicate, Assess, Revise, Engage, Sustain. It’s a practical framework that supports consistent, compassionate care—embedded in onboarding, clinician training, and leadership coaching.

7. How does Core support hospital quality and safety goals?

Every Core site uses performance dashboards, peer reviews, and monthly operational meetings to monitor KPIs. Our Medical Directors lead local quality efforts, with national benchmarking and analytics to guide improvement.

8. Does Core provide both Emergency and Hospital Medicine services?

Yes. Core specializes in both service lines, and many of our partner hospitals choose to align both under one team to improve collaboration, communication, and outcomes across the continuum of care.

8. What is the process for transitioning to Core Clinical Partners?

Our transition process is designed to minimize disruption and ensure a smooth handoff. We assign a dedicated implementation team that handles everything from recruiting and credentialing to stakeholder communication and EHR integration. Our goal is to have your program fully staffed, aligned, and operational from day one.
