“Where quality, effectiveness, and innovation meet.”
In-House Medical™
We seek to uphold the noblest of all principles, that we would treat others the way we ourselves would want to be treated.
We create innovative, effective hospital-based provider practices by integrating our services into the fabric of the facility.
We will provide the clinical and managerial expertise that result in an enhanced patient experience by intentionally optimizing the provider practices through hands-on leadership into the Hospital’s mission and vision.
In-House Medical™ is in the business of managing the clinical, operational, and financial aspects of Hospital Based Practices including Emergency Medicine and Hospital Medicine.
Traditionally, hospitals have hired physicians to lock in admissions and boost the use of hospital-based tests and diagnostic imaging, but the passage of healthcare reform in 2010 gave them new reasons to collect MDs and DOs. The law offers an incentive for hospitals and physicians to team up in the form of Accountable Care Organizations and earn bonuses for more efficient, higher-quality care. Bundled payments that hospitals and physicians share for inpatient care also promote togetherness.
At the same time, droves of physicians are seeking the shelter of a hospital to escape increasing burden of independent practice; long hours, at-risk revenue streams, and government prodding to adopt expensive electronic health record systems, to name a few turn-offs.
The rise in hospital-employed physicians parallels an increase in the percentage of institutions that use hospitalists, as more primary care physicians are turning their patient over to Hospital Based Practices. Even emergency physicians who have operated as Independent Contractors are converting to hospital employees as hospital join networks or are being acquired by large health systems.
In-House Medical™ will offer the hospital the advantages of both worlds – the systems and expertise of an outsourced group with the local control and alignment of having the doctors working for the institution.
