Bradley County Medical Center is excited to announce the hospital has partnered with In-House Medical to transition the staffing of Emergency Department physicians from an outsourced contract management group to more local control from BCMC.
The doctors in the BCMC Emergency Department will now be official hospital staff as opposed to a contracted company that would send a rotation of physicians to our hospital. In-House Medical will assist Bradley County Medical Center with recruitment, scheduling, and other managerial aspects by integrating their services into the fabric of BCMC instead of the other way around.
One of the major criticisms of emergency room visits nationwide is not feeling like they know the doctors and a lack of compassion. This new system of employing Emergency Department physicians will aim to solve these complaints. Another issue is camaraderie with the nurses and other members of the ER staff that is hard to maintain with ever-changing doctors. This will bring some stability to the department.
According to BCMC’s CEO/CFO, Leslie Huitt, “The mission of BCMC is to provide superior care to every patient, every time. We strive every day to achieve this mission. We feel this move will help up us accomplish this goal.”
Several doctors have already opted in to this model including known faces around the community, Dr. Bradley Biggers and Dr. Michelle Weaver. Others include Dr. Taylor Dilday, Dr. Nasir Zareen, Dr. Khaled Hassan, Dr. Leisa Spence, Dr. Raquel Rivera-Cruz, Dr. Madhulika Krish, and Dr. Patrick Mbawuike. There have already been compliments from this group on this new model.
These physicians are ones who want to work at BCMC and provide healthcare for our community instead of just being assigned to our hospital.
