California hospital to bring in ApolloMed hospitalists

ApolloMed Hospitalists, a medical group affiliated with Apollo Medical Holdings, has agreed to provide comprehensive hospitalist services for Mee Memorial Hospital in King City, Calif.

Under the agreement, ApolloMed will provide 24/7 hospitalist services for MMH and will staff an on-site clinic on weekdays. 

The goal of the medical group is to work with the hospital administration, medical staff, nurses and case managers to enhance clinical core measures scores, improve clinical documentation, optimize lengths of stay, reduce hospital readmissions and enhance patient satisfaction scores.

Ken Hritz, COO of MMH, expressed excitement about the agreement.

"This new relationship with ApolloMed will enable our hospital to better meet the needs of the King City community," he said in a prepared statement. "This hospitalist service is a critical piece within the complex care continuum facing the patients at Mee Memorial Hospital, and we are enthusiastic about the improvements they will be making."
