CEP America Begins Staffing Inpatient Department at Feather River Hospital

CEP America, one of the nation’s leading providers of hospital-based physician management solutions, is pleased to announce the expansion of its partnership with Feather River Hospital in Paradise, Calif. After seeing operational improvements in the emergency department (ED) with CEP America for five years, hospital administrators selected CEP America to begin managing the inpatient department starting April 1.

“We are excited to bring the same level of care to the hospital’s inpatient department that we have brought to its ED,” said Rob Hamilton, MD, Regional Director at CEP America. “With CEP America staffing multiple departments at Feather River Hospital, providers and patients alike can expect enhanced ED-hospitalist integration and improved patient throughput.”

Hospital clients that call on CEP America to manage multiple departments have seen improved inpatient efficiency, a reduced average length of stay, and a remarkable decrease in 30-day readmission rates. The result of these efforts enhances patient care and can improve a hospital’s case mix index.
