Hospitalist Staffing in Georgia

Hospitalist Medicine

Improving Inpatient Care for Hospitals and Patients

Managing

SouthlandMD forms partnerships with the hospital and primary care physicians in the community to better treat the medical needs and improve both the inpatient and outpatient experience for the patient. Our goal is to ensure a smooth transition for the patient from the hospital back to their primary care physician.

Staffing

The Hospitalist program provides you with SouthlandMD physicians who have several years of experience and no other responsibilities outside the hospital, which enables them to focus exclusively on the care of the acutely ill, hospitalized patients. Many of our physicians have established relationships with the hospital staff and local medical community which helps establish great communication when treating patients.

Commitment

We have over 10 years of experience and proven success with Hospitalist Medicine programs. Our partner hospitals have seen results both financially and with patient satisfaction. The impact has been an increase in the inpatient census, a reduction in unnecessary transfers, and a decrease in readmission rates because of the high quality care provided by SouthlandMD providers.

Patient Information Coordinators (PICs)

PICs work exclusively with our physicians and are responsible only for our patients. Your PIC will assist in scheduling follow up appointments or finding a primary care physician for the patient.

Communication

Effective communication both inside the hospital and between a patient and their primary care physician is important for the overall health of the patient. Having clear communication and an effective transition of care plan during the patient's stay can save on costs and increase day-to-day operating efficiency.

Hybrid Hospitalists Program

This program enables lower volume facilities to afford Hospitalist programs. Our hospitalist physicians work both in the hospital and emergency department to see patients.

Improved Patient Outcomes

We can help hospitals ensure continuity of care following discharge by implementing a clear process for the whole care team to follow. The hospital and patients benefit from communication between providers, access to medical history, knowledge of the treatment plan which in turn can reduce readmissions.
