The lack of effective surgery coverage meant that patients were often forced to be transferred to other facilities, or surgical cases were being performed after hours.<\/p>\n<h3>Solution<\/h3>\n<p>UVA Health System partnered with TeamHealth to implement an acute surgery program to improve the management of patients with acute surgery needs. Working together, TeamHealth and hospital leadership examined current processes and together implemented a new standard of care that kept surgery patients close to home, near where they live and thus eliminating the need for inconvenient transfers. Backed by TeamHealth\u2019s experience in developing similar programs in hospitals across the country, the health system\u2019s executive team initiated planning meetings with clinicians and staff in critical areas such as ED, anesthesia and surgery teams. Conversations were also held with community surgeons to review current procedures and processes to ensure a mutually-beneficial hospital-based surgical practice that allowed community surgeons to focus on their clinic-based practices.<\/p>\n<p>TeamHealth\u2019s solutions promoted improved outcomes by accelerating each hospital\u2019s ability to respond and move patients more quickly from ED arrival to the operating suite.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner column_margin=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_tablet=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_phone=&#8221;default&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; row_position=&#8221;default&#8221; row_position_tablet=&#8221;inherit&#8221; row_position_phone=&#8221;inherit&#8221; overflow=&#8221;visible&#8221; pointer_events=&#8221;all&#8221;][vc_column_inner column_padding=&#8221;padding-5-percent&#8221; column_padding_tablet=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_phone=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; column_element_direction_desktop=&#8221;default&#8221; column_element_spacing=&#8221;default&#8221; desktop_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color=&#8221;#F3F9FF&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_backdrop_filter=&#8221;none&#8221; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; overflow=&#8221;visible&#8221; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; animation_type=&#8221;default&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; border_type=&#8221;simple&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; column_padding_type=&#8221;default&#8221; content_layout=&#8221;default&#8221; gradient_type=&#8221;default&#8221;][nectar_single_testimonial testimonial_style=&#8221;bold&#8221; text_color=&#8221;#0057B8&#8243; color=&#8221;Extra-Color-2&#8243; quote=&#8221;The acute care surgery program fostered confidence and camaraderie within our teams.

By exhibiting day-to-day program leadership and leading-edge innovation (including best practices gleaned from other surgery programs) processes were put in place to keep cases at the hospital and local patients and their families in their community, helping stabilize conditions at both hospitals. Other results include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>In TeamHealth\u2019s first year at Prince William Medical Center, surgical cases increased 27% over the previous year.<\/li>\n<li>In that same year at Haymarket Medical Center, surgical cases increased 38% over the previous year.<\/li>\n<li>Hospital administrators noted these results represented an immediate impact on the hospitals\u2019 abilities to retain patients requiring acute general surgery.<\/li>\n<li>In the second calendar year, the combined surgical volume at Prince William and Haymarket Medical Centers was 34% greater than the client\u2019s internal estimates, thus demonstrating the program\u2019s ability to retain surgical cases that otherwise might have been transferred out to other hospitals and communities.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>To learn
