AHMG achieved outstanding results during the two years of operation of the “Hospitalist Program” at Mission Hospital from January 2006 through March 2008.
During this period, AHMG successfully implemented the Hospitalist Program for “Unassigned ER patients” at Mission Hospital in Mission Viejo, CA through a comprehensive, detailed planning and an outstanding team work.
AHMG’s unique multidisciplinary team work approach and micromanagement in every aspect of the care resulted in significant improvement in quality of patient care with impressive reduction in patient mortality and complication rates. AHMG’s proper utilization of hospital resources also had tremendous impact in lowering ALOS and cost/case of admissions.
AHMG’s daily multidisciplinary patient care rounds (PCR) with the presence of its medical director, hospitalists on duty, assigned care manager, social worker, pharmacist and the hospitalist team coordinator has been a key element in providing an organized and optimized care for our patients from admission to discharge.
Through an outstanding teamwork we were able to achieve significant results in:
Reducing mortality rate by more than 50%
Lowering readmission rates by more than 40%
Significantly improving patient and staff satisfaction
Significantly reducing variance in patient care from admission to discharge
Improving compliance with performance core measures and achieving high scores close to 100% in quality indicators for disease management
Significant reduction in ALOS by about 40% above prior level
Significant reduction in total and variable cost/case for each admission with proper utilization of hospital resources and consultants, etc....
Reducing Avoidable Bed-Days (AVBD) by nearly 50%
Finally outstanding return on investment (ROI) value for the hospital with millions of dollars saving over two years
We constantly analyze our daily work in order to further improve the quality of our services and achieve even more impressive results with setting the higher goals and standards in both quality and utilization areas of inpatient care.
