Quality Improvement
The Hospital Medicine service is the driving force behind quality outcomes across the hospital, and the importance of the engagement of the individual hospitalists can not be over-stated. Each new hospitalist service is evaluated carefully, looking for opportunities around geographic and interdisciplinary rounding, core measures, MIPS, and other indicators that are important to the organization. We feel that it is important to assure that the hospitalist team has a financial incentive to hit key metrics and that these metrics are mirrored in the contract that Core has with the hospital. We are so confidant in our ability to drive quality that we are willing to put our profit at risk based purely on mutually agreeable KPIs.
