8 April - 2023IN MY OPINIONThe Emerus Advantage: How Its Small-format Hospital Model SucceedsBy Brianne Eversmeyer, Senior Vice President, Business Development, Emerus Holdings, Inc.Healthcare is a continually evolving industry, and these times are no different. With an expeditious push toward value-based care, our partners and health systems across the country are looking for options to create true and lasting values for their stakeholders in a capital-efficient way ­ without losing their opportunity to gain and attract new market-share growth. Our distinct and differentiated business model brings a broader suite of hospital and outpatient medical services into neighborhoods. This distributed approach to the provision of care offers our health system partners greater reach and impact, benefitting the communities they serve. Emerus works to grow our partner's brand, reputation, and revenue through our innovative and single focus on integrating neighborhood hospitals into our partners' care continuum. We're able to do this by creating value for patients, payors, and partners. How? · Identifying service gaps across regional trade areas. By building full-service, small-format hospitals in these areas, we expand our partners' footprint at a fraction of the cost of constructing and operating a "big-box" hospital, and we bring high-quality healthcare to thousands of people in underserved areas. · Delivering neighborhood hospitals that are capital-efficient and conveniently close to where patients live, with door-to-doc times averaging under 10 minutes and door-to-discharge times under 75 minutes.
