Pursuing Perfect Healthcare Audio Conference Series Part 2: How Prepared Practice Teams Transform Care and Culture
In the second Healthcare Intelligence Network (HIN) Pursuing Perfect Care audio conference on September 19, 2007, HealthPartners Medical Group will describe how it used its Pursuing Perfection grant to launch a prepared practice team concept that is revamping patient care and functioning as a model for the organization.
August 17, 2007
MANASQUAN, NJ, USA — By shifting from reactive, visit-by-visit care to a proactive, team-based, patient-centered model, HealthPartners Medical Group is building patient care continuity. It’s not surprising that its prepared practice team approach, which has garnered them high marks in patients’ preventative screening completion, clinical milestones for the chronically ill and patient engagement and satisfaction, is now a model for all other departments.
