This year, HFMG, which includes more than 100 physicians in 40 locations, completed three major accomplishments that contributed to the award. HFMG reduced 30-day readmissions by 30 percent, reduced high alcohol consumption by 18 percent for at-risk patients and increased provider time with patients by 27 percent for 15-minute appointments.

HFMG will be honored at the 2017 HIMSS Conference in February 2017 in Orlando, Fla.
