Surgical Hospitalist Programs Provide Results
Surgical Affiliates Management Group:
What:
|
|
In a presentation entitled "Understanding the Value Proposition and
Return on Investment a Surgical Hospitalist Program Brings to
Hospitals," at the American Association for Physician Leadership
2015 Annual Meeting & Spring Institute, Leon Owens, M.D. FACS, will
share insights and results of how a surgical hospitalist program
solved one hospital's problems. Using a case study conducted over a
five-year period of time, Dr. Owens will illustrate how applying the
standards that have transformed trauma care to the acute care
surgery arena is the next step in driving patient safety and quality
to new levels, while lowering costs and reducing length of stay
without increasing readmissions.

Their experience demonstrates that the surgical hospitalist model is
much more than a solution for surgical call coverage-it is a
breakthrough in resolving ongoing challenges of reducing
complications, improving outcomes, lowering costs, and increasing
efficiency-enabling hospitals to be successful in a world driven by
value-based payment. Surgical Affiliates' hospital partners report
results such as a 72% reduction in the rate of complications from
acute care surgeries, a 66% decline in the thirty-day readmission
rate, and a 12% drop in length of stay.
