Every year more hospitals recognize the
value and benefits of a quality hospitalist program.
In some markets, hospitalists provide more than a competitive
edge - they're a necessity. Many primary-care physicians
choose not to come to the hospital, and if a facility
can't take their patients, they go elsewhere.
PrimeDoc Has a Proven Track Record.
Hospitals also recognize the importance of partnering with a hospitalist
company that has a track record of delivering results; one that shares
common goals and can work on-site with local physician management to meet
and exceed expectations in a timely fashion.
Founded in 1997, PrimeDoc has
established, managed, and staffed hospitalist programs for more than 10 years,
currently operating programs in North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, Georgia, Maryland.
The management team is led by physicians with more than
30 years of combined experience in clinical internal medicine
and executive-level hospital staff leadership positions.
PrimeDoc employs approximately 100 physicians.
PrimeDoc Puts Physicians on Your Team.
PrimeDoc hospitalist programs can help anxious
hospital executives deal with fundamental questions
about the future of their medical staffs. Physicians,
disgruntled by income, managed care and other issues,
are not as willing to do the volunteer work hospitals
used to take for granted, such as serving on hospital
committees and in staff leadership positions. And a
growing number of specialists don't even practice in
a hospital - in the past, most doctors needed the hospital
to be successful, but that's no longer the case.
In contrast, hospitalists
are doctors on a hospital's team; therefore hospitalists,
along with intensivists and emergency-department physicians,
are likely to become more prominent on the hospital's
committees in the future.
