Managing multispecialty medical services. A focus on special children and the elderly
Abstract:
A comprehensive perspective is essential to properly manage medical services for patients with multiple needs. For optimum care, all service aspects must be coordinated and a program format developed to meet individually identified needs. The Gundersen Clinic in LaCrosse, Wisconsin, has designed and implemented comprehensive care programs for two very different patient populations: children with special health and education problems, and the elderly. Many important aspects of a comprehensive care program are examined here, including ease of accessibility and follow-through, cost consciousness, staffing and space considerations, the administrative structure, marketing techniques, and evaluation procedures.
