96% of all patient encounters with community hospitals happen in outpatient settings.
Over the past decade, health system-owned ambulatory enterprises have evolved in response to growing costs, stagnant payer reimbursement, and a strong industry preference for outpatient care. Organizations that have removed long-standing barriers between their ambulatory and inpatient settings have been able to target key opportunity areas and maximize the value generated for patients, physicians, and health systems.
ECG’s 30-Day Rapid Ambulatory Assessment helps ambulatory leaders quickly respond to these questions:
- How is my ambulatory enterprise doing compared with others in the market?
- How does my ambulatory care model compare with best practice?
- Is my physician enterprise prepared for virtual care delivery?
- Where should I direct resources to improve performance?
