Value-based care over the past 15-20 years has focused on managing health care costs as efficiently as possible while also improving patients’ health, outcomes, and experiences. At ApolloMD, value-based care goes further.

The 2023 report marks the 11th anniversary of the Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade assessment, and ApolloMD applauds our hospital partners earning the A-level score for excellence in patient safety.

ApolloMD has created the position of Patient Experience (PX) Coordinator in select partner hospital EDs to turn those stressful, difficult ED patient experiences into tolerable, manageable. and even pleasant encounters. The PX Coordinator serves as a liaison between the health care professionals who provide emergency care and the often anxious, injured, or stressed patients in the treatment and waiting rooms

In hospitals everywhere, one medical specialty has been particularly impacted by the long tail of the COVID-19 pandemic: the Emergency Department (ED). Although ambulances are no longer lining up to deliver streams of severely ill patients with COVID-19 to the ED, medical professionals who work inside the ED — and patients who visit the ED for care — continue to feel the brunt.

For treatments ranging from a simple suture to a complicated surgical abdomen, every patient wants to receive care from a competent, confident, self-assured health care professional. Those key factors – competence, confidence, and self-assurance – lie at the heart of ApolloMD’s award-winning Advanced Practice Clinician (APC) Advancement Program.

Our robust ApolloMD growth calls for the extension of clinical leadership roles to champion our dynamic teams. To answer that call, we introduce a team of Regional Vice Presidents that are clinical leaders managing a roster of facilities while supporting company operations in other areas. These leaders will work closely with the Regional and Divisional Presidents, and the operations support assigned to the geographic region.

Revenue cycle management plays a pivotal role in the strength and survivability of an organization. Management begins when a patient makes an appointment and continues until final payments register. It sounds straightforward, but the health care industry constantly presents challenges for this process, including the transition from fee-for-service to value-based care.
