Dear Friends and Colleagues,

Physician satisfaction and loyalty. Would you say these are keystones to a thriving hospital?

Press Ganey cites that "reduced autonomy and increased time demands leave physicians feeling detached and uninvolved" resulting in "decreased loyalty, physician defections, slow downs in admissions and revenue and ultimately damage to the hospital's reputation."

As a physician, I have experienced these short falls. I have made it my personal mission to create a hospital environment that stands head and shoulders above its competitors and which fosters satisfied and loyal physicians.

How do you do this? Through innovative patient care processes and supporting technology. In fact, one of our client hospitals has reported physician satisfaction score improvements of 40 percent. This is "Big Change" — especially considering that the reverberating result was dramatically increased revenue.

Please take the time to learn more about how to create physician loyalty, impact the hospital environment, and learn how EMPATH has become known for creating physician loyalty and satisfaction.

Physicians want to know that they can round efficiently and on-time, and that their patients are ready for discharge. Surgeons want to start on-time, turn the room, and end on-time (or earlier). They all want reliable, predictable, efficient service.

One of our clients says it well: "(In the OR)...a scheduled start time now means that the patient is ready to start....this is a definite difference. ...We know that the number of cases starting by 0730 has increased dramatically. And, my days in surgery finish more quickly now." Dean M., Surgeon

Transformative IT = Process-Supportive IT
