| Current
Challenges |
- Inpatient
hospital care is often delivered in a disorganized and inefficient
manner.
- Each physician
specialist is focused on a different organ system, often failing
to communicate in a timely manner or work together effectively.
- The traditional
quarterback of care, the busy PCP, has difficulty balancing outpatient
responsibilities and responding to inpatient needs:
- Coordination
of Specialists
- Caring
for more acutely ill patients
- Interruptions
in outpatient office
- Travel
time to and from hospitals
