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 most meaningful health care awards are those that come from patients. ApolloMD congratulates our own Jesse Ellsworth, MD, an emergency medicine physician at our partner Novant Kernersville Medical Center in Kernersville, NC.
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.
Applications are now being accepted for ApolloMD’s 2023 Emergency Medicine Scholarship for Residents. Now in its sixth year, the scholarship supports medical residents who are pursuing a career in emergency medicine. It reflects ApolloMD’s commitment to support resident physicians who are eager to pursue their passion for emergency medicine and high-quality, patient-centered healthcare.
