HNI Healthcare

HNI Healthcare HNI Healthcare delivers solution-oriented, technology-enabled physician programs that provide value-based, patient-focused care.

In 2009, HNI started in a hospital in the Rio Grande Valley of Texas. It was evident that a dislocation existed between a physician’s revenue and a hospital’s quality model. Physicians were incentivized to have more daily contacts with an increased length of stay to generate more income. Meanwhile, hospitals were motivated to lower length of stay, optimize utilization, improve compliance, and support evidence-based care. From day one, we have sought to align physician and hospital goals in order to transform healthcare into a value-based, patient-centered, sustainable system. A system where clinical, operational, and financial outcomes are balanced and optimized. With longer and more frequent patient visits, combined with our break-through VitalsMD® technology, our physicians are able to make informed decisions that put quality and outcomes first. Once we improve patient care, we focus this same energy to improving health systems by providing extensive training, administrative support, and stream-lined processes. An acquisition in 2018 expanded HNI’s footprint even further. Martin Healthcare Group (MHG) brought 40 years of long-standing tradition of service quality to HNI. Combining MHG’s experience with HNI’s innovative solutions has enabled us to have an even greater impact on the communities we serve. Fast forward to today, we now serve 4 out of the 6 hospitals in the upper Rio Grande Valley and have expanded to over 10 states and more than 100 acute and post-acute hospitals. We are forging a bold path for a new model of healthcare—and the transformation of our partners and communities.

Managing patient flow in hospitals is crucial for quality outcomes and performance. HNI’s CORE program and VitalsMD® tech improve both patient outcomes and hospital performance. Why is patient flow important?

1. Reduced Overcrowding: Smooth transitions reduce overcrowding, leading to shorter wait times and better care.
2. Preventing Poor Handoffs: Clear protocols and seamless handoffs ensure care continuity and safety.
3. Avoiding Delays: Streamlining flow with process & tech prevents delays, crucial for timely care.
4. Reducing Waste: Efficient flow reduces resource waste, allowing reinvestment in other needs.
5. Quality of Care: Optimal flow maximizes care quality and outcomes.

HNI enters every implementation with a 215 point plan that includes an in-depth examination of hospital patient flow and aligns strategies that will enhance operations throughout the hospital setting. HNI’s CORE program starts with the current state analysis and embraces continued reassessment and evolution, well beyond launch.

Your “Go- live” is just the beginning.

Last week, HNI Healthcare joined CMMI & Tampa General Hospital for a panel on leveraging technology in BPCI Advanced programs. Key takeaways from this great discussion included:
1. Understanding and supporting the clinical quality of post- acute networks is critical when taking risk in any value- based care model

2. While EHRs are the trusted source of patient data in the hospital, purpose-built technology is required to integrate disparate data sources (EHR, HIE, RPM and others) and provide a comprehensive view of the patient record

3. Technology and real- time insights can be used to provide corrective feedback to value- based care processes at the point of care

4. Technology can also be used to support and enhance the daily processes and care coordination that are critical for success in value- based care

5. Fostering a culture of innovation, collaboration, and patient- centricity is key for success in BPCI Advanced and any other healthcare delivery model

Merced Gonzales and Thomas Hashman outlined HNI’s approach to hospital management and our tools for connecting the care continuum across acute, post- acute and outpatient settings.

HNI is committed to clinical quality and always being ahead of the curve in the evolving landscape of clinical care and reimbursement models. Our results have made us a recognized leader in hospital-based medicine and BPCI programs.
