Our mission is to provide acute surgical care in an expert, efficient, team-oriented manner. This will be accomplished by:
- Establishing a workable system whereby a select group of surgeons, focusing upon the care of the acute surgical patient in the hospital setting, can act to provide expedient, expert care.
- Providing a schedule that allows the individual surgical hospitalist to provide complete care to the patient while allowing clear handoff between surgeons and sufficient time off to maintain a rewarding lifestyle.
- Providing coverage and support for non-elective surgical consults, allowing the non-hospitalist surgeons to provide improved surgical care to their elective and established patients while allowing enhancement of their own lifestyles.
- Establishing a system of communication and professional respect with referring physicians that allows the care of their patients to be assisted by our surgical hospitalists and with consulting physicians that provides care that goes beyond our training or expertise.
- Creating a system of review from which will grow policies and procedures based in evidence from research and facility-specific experience that are directed to safe, sensible, successful patient care.
- Intervening for surgical patients in an appropriate and expeditious fashion to shorten length of stay and decrease risk of complications, thereby decreasing cost and increasing hospital bed availability while improving resource utilization.
