Why a Great Doctor is Worth Every Penny
What’s the most important goal of any emergency department? For most of us, it’s simple: providing outstanding emergency department patient care. To achieve this, the single best investment you can make is hiring an outstanding physician and creating functional and reliable partnerships. Read more to find out why.
Your physicians are the captains of the ship.
Your physician will set the tone in the Emergency Department. A well-qualified physician will earn the confidence of the nurses and techs and will inspire cooperation and positive attitudes in the staff. They will care for your patients with empathy, compassion, and technical skill. They will communicate and work with your medical staff to coordinate further outpatient and inpatient care. They will be the leaders of the Emergency Department.
