In 2009, Hospitalists Now, Inc. (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.
