Emergency Medicine Case Studies

In this hospital, Sound's integrated solution brings together hospital medicine, emergency medicine, and critical care to put the patient at the center of care. This integrated approach has led to reduced decision to admit times, reduced ED door-to-provider times, and reduced ED LWBS.

With the success at another hospital, a hospital in the same system transitioned their emergency and hospital medicine programs to Sound Physicians. Despite typical challenges moving from an employed to an outsourced model, Sound and the hospital implemented a successful transition with a tight timeline over the holidays. Within six months of implementation, the hospital has a fully staffed team, and clinician satisfaction and patient care improved.

A community hospital faced various challenges in coordinating care between its adult and pediatric emergency departments, such as siloed care, declining throughput metrics, staffing vacancies, and a flat-rate compensation model. Collaborating with Sound Physicians, the hospital addressed staffing challenges and redesigned patient care, improving length of stay in both EDs, patient satisfaction, and reducing overall admit length of stay.
