Fast Track a Go

After months of work and numerous headaches, we are T-minus 2 days for the start of the new Fast Track program.

I am really excited about this program as it truly is the right thing to do. The plan: manage low acuity patients in a low acuity setting and infrastructure. This allows us to charge lower rates which are reasonable for the conditions that patients are presenting with.

Although this is not going to be a positive impact for the bottom line, the hospital should be applauded for doing the right thing.

Now on to the fun-- we have to get the TAT for this venture to 60 minutes. More on that after the roll-out!
