“Quality emergency and inpatient care is critical to managing and improving population health, an issue at the forefront of the Affordable Care Act. And, as our population grows and ages, it is more important than ever to develop services and efficient healthcare delivery models that are specialized to meet the needs of our senior population in California. For example, Prime Healthcare’s Encino Hospital opened Southern California’s first geriatric emergency room and inpatient wing dedicated to seniors. By creating innovative and better care environments, we can reduce the wait time to see a doctor and reduce the number of patients who leave without having been seen in emergency rooms, thereby improving the quality of care with long-term benefits to the health of our population.
Not only is it important to keep our emergency rooms open, we also need to preserve community hospitals, especially in rural areas. Hospitals provide critical care and represent one of the largest employers and economic drivers. Prime Healthcare is dedicated to rescuing financially distressed hospitals and improving them so they continue to serve their communities while preserving jobs and saving lives. We believe every community deserves exceptional healthcare close to home.”
