- Community Outreach: demonstrate to your patient community that you are part of an effort to reduce costs and improve quality at your facility and ultimately across healthcare
- Ongoing Insights: receive a subscription to research updates, case studies, and articles about what the top hospitals are doing to reduce spending
- Progress Check: meet with Thomson Reuters annually to review results and discuss the progress at your facility
- Publicity: your logo will be posted on the www.save4billion.com Web site, demonstrating your support of the cause
- Expanded Reach: leverage the marketing and PR efforts Thomson Reuters launches around this campaign
YOUR COMMITMENT TO PARTICIPATE
There is no cost to join the effort. Only a dedication on your behalf to take the steps to move toward benchmark performance. That starts with a close look at your current performance. For example, you may need to identify where you can improve patient safety or reduce complications. You could examine DRGs with higher LOS and determine if that can be shortened. Or you could take a close look at your current supply costs and identify lower options. All of these components will help you arrive at a goal for your facility. We ask you to share that number with us so we can help you in your journey toward excellence. We will keep your goal confidential, but will report high-level results in aggregate on an annual basis to demonstrate progress of the campaign as a whole.
