One of the points made on the website is their ability to drop down the length of stay versus peers and other hospitalists. At this point with all the rumbling I am seeing, care is the only thing I give a darn about and so should you. As a patient the business side of all of this means zero.
The company may be doing a great job overall, but again as consumers this leaves us out and is marketed toward the bean counters wanting to save money so I hope with the new PE owners it continues to work and patient care doesn’t suffer. BD
ATLANTA – Three healthcare-focused private equity firms have acquired Eagle Hospital Physicians, an Atlanta-based practice management company for hospitalist physician groups.
Eagle provides hospitalist contract services, telemedicine and hospitalist temporary staffing to its hospital partners, primarily in the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic regions.
Highlander Partners, a Dallas-based investment firm, and Flexpoint Ford, a Chicago-based company, are joined in the transaction by Health Enterprise Partners, a growth equity fund focused on the healthcare industry. The three firms have committed capital to support Eagle's future growth initiatives, said Robert Young, MD, Eagle's founder and current CEO.
