TeamHealth Hospital Medicine

TeamHealth Hospital Medicine division supports all of our divisions in their delivery of hospital medicine programs and services nationwide. By implementing and overseeing strategies to continually improve patient care among TeamHealth-affiliated hospitalists, TeamHealth Hospital Medicine ensures consistency among the various hospital medicine programs offered to TeamHealth clients. Some of the results of initiatives put in place by this division include:

• Lower costs, shorter lengths of stay, and better medical outcomes (including higher survival rates)
• A solution for the care of unassigned patients
• More frequent physician communication with patients and their families
• Higher patient satisfaction levels
• Greater experience and higher expertise in the care of acutely ill patients
• Ability to recognize patients who require special attention, anticipate problems and rapidly respond to crises and changes in a patient's condition
• Streamlined and expedited care, including coordination with medical and surgical consultants, discharge planners, primary care physicians and post-hospital care providers
• Improved communication between day and night shifts
• Better continuity of patient care

TeamHealth Hospital Medicine was established in the early 1990s in response to the growing demand from our long-time emergency medicine clients who needed a solution that provided full-time, consistent care for their admitted patients. Today we are one of the nation's leading providers of hospitalist and intensivist services.

Chris Frost, MD, vice president of hospital medicine and clinical excellence, leads TeamHealth Hospital Medicine. His extensive experience in hospital medicine, including more than five years of experience as a medical director and two years as a regional medical director, lend the unique physician understanding required to ensure the benefits of a hospital medicine program and our clients’ success with their individual hospital medicine programs.
