Lack of Integration Risk and Liability Costly Duplication of Effort Isn't It Time You Gained Control Over Your Healthcare Transportation? The healthcare landscape is changing dramatically. As the Affordable Care Act moves toward full implementation, more and more organizations are undertaking initiatives to improve quality and drive down costs. Optimization of every function and elimination of waste and over-servicing are clearly the way forward. "We are not geared up to deal with the rapid growth environment we're thrust into now." "If it's not your core competency, outsource it. Healthcare, not transportation, is our specialty." Mounting pressure for growth is moving care beyond the four walls of the hospital. Health systems are growing at historic levels through acquisitions and strategic partnerships. But, while merging operations can broaden care services, it can also lead to system dysfunction and waste. Given all the expanding points of care, without effective healthcare transportation, care coordination can become very costly, very quickly. Healthcare is more tumultuous than ever. Executives are challenged to be increasingly nimble to more effectively manage change. By offering access to intellectual capital and innovations, reducing operating costs and freeing up capital and human resources, outsourcing can help organizations "let go" of non-core functions in order to enhance overall control. Result: a renewed focus on providing quality, timely patient care. "We've got 32 different people driving all over the place, crossing each other's paths along the way, totally replicating services." As organizations spread out, the movement of critical patient specimens, pharmaceuticals, print, mail and supplies becomes increasingly difficult to manage — and can elevate risk and cause both clinician and patient dissatisfaction. Provider organizations need a solution to address transportation as a vital link that reaches across the enterprise, one that, when optimized, can add significant value by eliminating overlap as it improves quality.
