* Quality, Affordable Emergency Dept. Coverage *
|
Todays health care environment is changing rapidly, and your emergency department is probably experiencing those changes more than any other department in your hospital.
- Reduced Fees
Everday third party payers reduce the amounts paid, seriously reducing the cost effectiveness of your ER staff.
- Increased Production
As a result of these reductions, we attempt to increase production of providers to offset those losses. Spending time in the ED reduces office volume, production, and income.
- Excessive Hours
Todays physician is expected to do much more than take care of patients. He is expected to deal with insurance companies, workmen's compensation boards, remain current with his education, and fill a multitude of other roles that become the domain of a physician in a small town.
- Physician Retention
Because of these factors, the biggest obstacle facing rural areas is the retention of their providers. Overwork and long hours away from home is the main reason providers site for leaving a rural area.
