Inpatient Medicine
Closer collaboration, better care
The picture of integration: Vituity’s inpatient medicine practice deliver 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.
