Inpatient Medicine
Closer collaboration, better care
The picture of integration: Vituity’s inpatient medicine practice delivers a seamless experience between the emergency department, inpatient departments, and post-acute care.
As hospitals assume more financial risk for patients, post-acute care is an integral extension of your hospital’s care delivery model. In turn, post-acute outcomes have a direct impact on your reputation and bottom line. And, is why we’ve made it sincere focus.
Powerful data
Vituity’s data system provides the ability to improve hospital coverage and performance. Standard monthly reported metrics include physician productivity, throughput, average hospital length of stay, individual physician and discharge status, and top diagnoses.
We felt that having a related hospitalist service could improve the patient experience and throughput because the physicians are partners in the same group and have the same goals.

Learn how we can deliver impressive results for you:
True ED, critical care, and post-acute care integration
Our hospitalists coordinate medical and nursing staff across all departments, ensuring patients receive the best care possible. That means better care for the patient and improved practice efficiencies.
Better patient flow
Aligning hospital and ED physicians improves the flow of patients into and through the hospital. Hospitals that have more capacity to handle more admissions and treat more patients.
Improved patient experience
Better communication eliminates redundant testing and ensures patients receive timely, appropriate care, which improves the patient's overall experience.
Coordination and reduced costs
By working together, emergency and hospital medicine physicians better understand and anticipate the other needs, which eliminates repetitive or unnecessary services.
Fewer readmissions
We can identify which patients are at greatest risk for readmissions and offer focused tools and resources to increase outcomes for those populations.
Improved PCP and subspecialist satisfaction
Our quality-of-care not only meets but routinely exceeds the expectations of referring providers and leaders to more admissions and referrals.
Smooth transfers
Our integrated emergency and hospital medicine program seamlessly accepts transfers from referring providers and hospitals—saving time and improving patient care.
