Hospitalist - Value-Based Care
Be part of the solution: our current healthcare system despite herculean efforts on the part of clinicians, often fails to provide coordinated, seamless care. We know there is a better way. Our complex care eco-system model integrates care across multiple disciplines, keeping the patient in the center. We care for medically complex patients in the hospital and in a variety of unique outpatient acute care settings. Our goal is to provide optimal, big picture medical care that meaningfully impacts lives.
We are looking for a growth minded internal medicine physician to split their clinical time between inpatient hospitalist work and complex urgent care for seniors. The common denominator is caring for complex Medicare advantage patients in unique and innovative ways, including alternatives to hospitalization.
