Benefits for PCPs

With the demands of an office-based practice, Primary Care Physicians are often unable to visit their hospitalized patients more than once a day or to coordinate complex care that some patients require. In addition, fewer physicians are establishing solo practices; if one physician of a large group is delegated to make hospital rounds, most of the patients have already lost their familiar contact.

With strong pressure to decrease inpatient length of stay, coupled with the increasing severity of illness of hospitalized patients required to justify admission, Hospitalists are able to provide continual on-site availability.

Exigence Hospitalists become conduits for communication between the patient, their Primary Care Physician, and all others involved in their care. The result: improved patient satisfaction, decreased length of stay, improved quality measures and a vastly improved the hospital-PCP relationship.
