Mutual Vision and Cultural Fit Drive Expansion
“We’re better together because we are so closely aligned in our missions and our thinking. Being physician-led and dedicated to patient safety and minimizing risk makes for an impactful partnership. It’s a win-win.”
—Shelley Rizzo, Senior Patient Safety Risk Manager, The Doctors Company
A large, multi-state anesthesia group sought a strong, proactive partner that could support its national growth initiative and physician integration strategy. Shared values and a desire to create a distinct, effective educational program for anesthesiologists and CRNAs throughout the system led the group to place its medical malpractice coverage with The Doctors Company. The partnership is already delivering significant results—the group has entered additional states with an aggressive acquisition plan.
How we structured solutions:
- Customizing a sharply focused, specialty-specific risk assessment tool to identify top patient safety risks across the enterprise—and integrate outcomes into individual performance evaluations and financial incentives.
- Reduced travel time and costs associated with individual site visits through use of the electronic tool.
- Gathered and shared comprehensive data to identify where resources are best allocated for optimal patient safety and risk management results.
- Partnered with the group to provide CME programs—saving the group tens of thousands of dollars.
- Leveraged our claims data and expertise to jointly develop new education activities to help the group’s clinicians mitigate risk and improve patient care.
- Produced various forms of media to garner national exposure and awareness.
