 Case Study: Increased Physician Productivity
A unique aspect of the ApolloMD model is that our physicians operate under a 100% performance-based compensation structure, in which they are compensated based on the patients they treat and the procedures they perform. We have found that this incentive based compensation system has increased physician productivity and decreased patient throughput times.
Case Study: Reduction in “Left Without Being Seen” Patients
The ApolloMD performance-based compensation model rewards physicians for productivity, which inherently leads to decreased wait times, and as a result, a reduction in the numbers of patients who come to the emergency department but leave before they are seen by a physician.
Case Study: Improved Patient Satisfaction
ApolloMD approaches patient satisfaction with emergency medical services as a critical component of the overall ED experience. From a purely medical standpoint, patient satisfaction is important because it is associated with increased medical compliance and better patient outcomes. From a financial standpoint, patient satisfaction is important because it affects a patients’ willingness to return to an emergency department and/or hospital, the reputation of the emergency department and/or hospital, and the likelihood of malpractice litigation. As a result, ApolloMD finds it imperative to work within the hospital’s framework of patient satisfaction methodologies and measurements to monitor and improve patient satisfaction scores.
