At DMC hospitals and affiliated facilities, over 300 physicians of WSUPG offer patients in Detroit with clinical care options for adult patients across many specialty areas.
This collaboration is based around a new operating model, which covers performance-based metrics that include a range of key care and quality indicators such as patient satisfaction ratings and safety.
The latest agreement is longer than earlier two agreements, each two years or less. This will enable the two firms to make longer-term planning decisions with regard to care investments, staff appointment, development, and strategy.
A joint operating panel, with executives from each firm, will offer joint oversight and decision-making on clinical programme strategies, including on service lines, staffing needs and ambulatory services, etc.
