More hospital systems are turning to a micro-hospital model to expand their footprints where services are needed without without committing major capital, according to an article on the Healthcare Finance website.
More systems are turning to a micro-hospital model to expand their footprints during times of political uncertainty.
For instance, micro-hospitals are all the Emerus system does. The company's model focuses on joint ventures with established health systems and has facilities spread out across the western United States.
Instead of cherry picking the richer parts of town with a better payer mix, Emerus goes for areas with the higher volume and where access is a challenge because driving volume is key said Senior Director of Strategy and Development Daniel Probasco.
