The philosophy and mission of Hospitalist Management Resources is to:

• Ensure that high quality, cost effective primary and specialty physician services are always available to the emergency department and hospitalized patients.

• Ensure that all physicians who wish to participate are treated fairly and equitably.

• Ensure that the solution is financially sustainable over a long period of time.

• Ensure that the medical staff is engaged in the process of evaluating emergency department back-up options.

• Ensure that the program recommended to administration and board of trustees incorporates an approach that fulfills the fiduciary responsibilities to the hospital and its community.

• Because we listen to your medical staff and administration, we are able to recommend solutions that are tailored to your needs, including hybrid solutions.

Legal Review:

Before adopting any change in ED call reimbursement, we recommend that the client consult their Legal Counsel to assure compliance with anti-kickback, self-referral prohibitions (Stark I and II), fair market value analysis, and other statutes affecting a non-profit district hospital system
