  • Title: Physicians can benefit from a patient-focused hospital.
    Author: Lee JG, Clarke RW, Glassford GH.
    Journal: Physician Exec; 1993; 19(1):36-8. PubMed ID: 10125937.
    Abstract:
    To maintain leadership in their markets, a few innovative hospitals, in the late 1980s, developed a revolutionary concept of health care delivery--patient-focused care. Results from pilot projects have shown a considerable increase in patient satisfaction and increased physician productivity. The patient-focused care model boasts faster turnaround times, increased bedside care by caregivers (especially nurses), and an overall increase in the quality of care provided by the staff.
