The Business of CareHospitals operate high-quality healthcare on slim marginsby RaeAnne Marsh

HospitAls in ARizonA represent the cutting edge of medical research and treatment. specialized facilities are

destination hospitals, attracting patients and their families from around the region. And growth in the industry creates jobs in ancillary industries, from construction to purchase of goods and services.

Healthcare as a sector has been growing, even during the economic downturn of recent years. it is one of the largest job leaders in Arizona, says pete Wertheim, vice president of strategic Communications for the Arizona Hospital and Healthcare Association. two specialty hospitals have opened in recent years: Cancer treatment Centers of America, which opened its Western Regional Medical Center in Goodyear in 2008, and MD Anderson Cancer Center, which Banner Health opened in Gilbert last fall. And there is a new general acute care hospital for the Greater phoenix area that opened a few weeks ago south of the Valley: Florence Hospital at Anthem.

Hospitals overall, however, have been facing a much more challenging situation than many others in this sector, shedding jobs or not filling positions as they become vacant.

“Hospitals spend a lot of time anticipating what communities will look like,” says Wertheim, noting they are building to meet the needs of not just today but of tomorrow. But they operate on slim profit margins, particularly the “safety net” hospitals that provide healthcare for people without health insurance. And they face further cuts in reimbursements although there will likely still be segments of the population left uncovered even when the patient protection and Affordable Care Act is fully implemented. in fact, according to Wertheim, hospitals expect that under the Affordable Care Act, they will be treating more people at even slimmer margins.

to continue to provide high-quality care, hospitals are streamlining operations. “they are gaining efficiencies, consolidating services and finding greater value in the healthcare system,” says Wertheim. Hospitals are doing more to collaborate with outside

stakeholders to make sure patients are using the appropriate facilities for their healthcare. For instance, many people, traditionally, use emergency room services in lieu of a primary care physician. Hospitals have begun to focus on helping such patients find the lower-level care that would answer their needs, including behavioral health and rehabilitation, through networking and collaboration.

Mayo Clinic HospitalMayo Clinic Hospital is the first hospital planned, designed and built by Mayo Clinic. Completed in the fall of 1998, the hospital was designed to deliver high-quality inpatient medical care in an efficient environment, friendly to both patients and visitors.

the hospital is equipped with computerized systems that speed the flow of decision-making information to physicians and improve the quality of care,

and an electronic medical record system gives physicians access to historical as well as up-to-the-minute information on test results, treatment plans and patient progress. A filmless, computerized radiology system allows physicians to access X-ray pictures on a computer screen almost immediately after the pictures are taken, and physicians in multiple locations can view the images simultaneously and enlarge or enhance them for better interpretation. the entire hospital is wired for telemetry so monitoring of heart and other vital signs can be done from any patient room, which allows many patients to stay under the care of nurses who have expertise caring for their specific health conditions, as opposed to moving to a dedicated telemetry unit.

Mayo Clinic Hospital is located on a 210-acre site at 56th street and Mayo Boulevard (near the loop 101 Freeway) in the fast-growing corridor of northeast phoenix. the hospital provides inpatient

care to support the medical and surgical specialties and programs at the clinic. Mayo Clinic and Mayo Clinic Hospital together offer medical expertise dedicated to providing comprehensive diagnosis and treatment in more than 65 medical and surgical specialties, with careful attention to individual patient needs.

I’m a three-time national rodeo champion.One day after training I had a seizure.Tests showed I had a rare brain tumor, andsurgery to remove it could have left me paralyzed. Today, I’m back in the saddle.My answer was Mayo Clinic.

Thousands travel to Mayo Clinic each year for treatment, diagnosis, or a second opinion. Mayo Clinic is an in-network provider for millions, and a physician’s referral is typically not required. To request an appointment, visit mayoclinic.org.
