TeamHealth partners with a level-one trauma facility in South Florida for emergency medicine, hospital medicine, anesthesiology services and OB/GYN hospitalist coverage. The partnership elevates the level of care in the community and helps ensure the hospital’s operational excellence, with best-in-market clinical metrics.
Clinical Integration Leads to Best-in-Market Performance
Clinical integration bolsters communication and collaboration between departments and across a facility’s clinical services lines. This is particularly important in high-volume referral centers, where the patient mix is diverse. The South Florida facility has integrated services through TeamHealth across acute and specialty services. Their designation as a comprehensive stroke facility, referral center for complex obstetrical care and trauma status for both adult and pediatric care means they must maintain a high level of care and patient satisfaction.
”I think what makes [the facility] unique is the closeness of communication between all of us. We all understand each other’s pressure points.
