Chicago-area Hospital Faces Challenges with Patient Outcome Metrics

Prior to the unprecedented seismic shifts in national healthcare delivery caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the winds of change had already begun to resonate across Chicago’s healthcare delivery system.

 

CHALLENGE

A major Chicago-area hospital committed to serving its underserved patient population sought to resolve longstanding, systemic challenges within its quality patient outcome metrics. Key hospital indicators such as Patient Wait Times, Left Without Being Seen rates and declining HCAHPS scores left the hospital in an increasingly dire financial and operational state. 

Hospital executives engaged D&Y to provide both immediate and long-term clinical coverage aimed at resolving the facility’s growing quality patient outcome and forecasted revenue concerns.

SOLUTION

After a thorough analysis of the facility’s challenges and objectives, D&Y responded by providing more than 20 qualified clinicians to provide support in delivering the desired metrics. In the first seven months of 2020, these clinicians provided over 300 days of life-saving clinical care, positively impacting Patient Wait Times and Left Without Being Seen metrics.
