Abstract
Can you cut your Medicare risk inpatient bed days in half? Proponents of hospitalist programs say you can, and you can claim big savings--some as high as the upper $20s PMPM--when you apply the model to Medicare risk. Find out how to generate such savings, and learn from the experience of the Riverside Physician Network, a California IPA that uses hospitalists to care for its 10,200 seniors.
