Elevating Hospital Medicine to Deliver Quality and Value
At Horizon Post Acute Care Services, we approach Hospital Medicine (HM) with purpose and precision. Our proactive approach has allowed us to develop a system that drives measurable improvements in length of stay while enhancing quality, patient experience, and overall value.
Our success in Hospital Medicine has established us as one of the fastest-growing, independently financed Hospital Medicine groups in the nation.
A Transformative Approach to Hospital Medicine
Over the last two decades, the Hospitalist model has evolved into a cornerstone of inpatient care. We understand the critical role Hospital Medicine teams play in driving key metrics such as length of stay—an essential indicator of both patient care quality and hospital financial performance.
At Horizon, we balance discharge efficiency with quality outcomes and patient satisfaction, ensuring every decision is guided by a commitment to delivering exceptional care.
Key Elements of Our Hospital Medicine Model
At Horizon Post Acute Care Services, we view the length of stay as more than just a metric; it reflects the quality of care and operational efficiency we strive to deliver.
To enhance collaboration and streamline communication, we implement fostering strong
connections between hospitalists, other specialized physicians, nurses, pharmacists, care managers, and patients.
Guided by the Society of Hospital Medicine’s (SHM) evidence-based recommendations, our care is designed to be both efficient and of the highest quality. Additionally, we utilize innovative support systems such as telemedicine and advanced practice provider (APP) support to optimize care delivery and achieve superior patient outcomes.
Elevating Hospital Medicine Outcomes
Through our integrated approach to care, we provide a Hospital Medicine program that:
- Improves Operational Metrics: Reducing length of stay while maintaining high standards of quality.
- Enhances Patient Experience: Ensuring that patients feel supported and cared for throughout their stay.
- Delivers Real Value: Helping our partner facilities achieve the best clinical outcome
