GrandCare Chief Medical Officer wins Los Angeles County Award

GrandCare’s Dr. Erick Eiting wins Bronze Eagle award for reducing ER visits for incarcerated patients

Erick Eiting Bronze EagleGrandCare Systems announced today that Chief Medical Officer Dr. Erick Allen Eiting has been awarded the County of Los Angeles Productivity and Quality Award Program Bronze Eagle Award for his role as project manager of the Inmate Care Services Project.  During Dr. Eiting’s tenure, the project reduced emergency room visits by 17% and patient wait times by 75%.

This innovative endeavor is a collaborative effort between the Los Angeles County Department of Health Services (DHS), the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department’s Medical Services Bureau (MSB) and the University of Southern California (USC).  The overarching themes of this partnership have been to improve access to specialty care, quality of care, coordination and communication; to provide care coordination resources to aid in case management for patients with complex medical needs; to increase the quality of services provided to jail patients; to increase onsite medical services within the Los Angeles County Jail (LACJ) system; to reduce the number of unnecessary transfers out of the jail setting; to reduce unnecessary outpatient specialty care visits at LAC+USC Medical Center (LAC+USC); to reduce emergency department visits by enhancing existing resources; and, to direct as much inpatient care as possible to the Jail Ward at LAC+USC.  The program started in July 2013 with an on-site urgent care unit at Twin Towers Correctional Facility.  Additional services continue to be phased in.

“Dr. Eiting was selected for his proven results” said GrandCare CEO and Founder, Charlie Hillman.  “He’s perfectly suited to run GrandCare’s clinical advisory board, focusing on mitigating hospital readmissions, ensuring better outcomes and saving money.”

Laura Mitchell to Speak on Hospital Readmission

At the First National Medicare-Medicaid Payment Incentives and Penalties Summit

“The Leading Forum on Recovery Audits, Readmissions, Value-Based Purchasing, HACs and Never Events, and Managing to Medicare Margins.”

Laura Mitchell, VP Business Development will be speaking alongside Dr. Erick Eiting on “Healing in Place™ — Using Technology to Reduce the Risk of Hospital Readmissions.” Conference Theme II: Thursday, May 31, 2012, from 4:45pm-5:15pm in the Prince William room. 

Laura has also recently published a whitepaper under the same title.

The following is an excerpt form “Healing in Place™”:

From Hospital to Home: The Grand Transition
One cannot seriously talk about healthcare reform, improving outcomes, or reducing cost without talking about the aging of America, given the large portion of healthcare costs that are incurred in the later stages of life.1 Healthcare already consumes a distressing 17% percentage of GDP, and with the “Boomers” entering their chronic condition years, the financial strain on our society is certain to become more acute, if not critical. As a society, we pay for many pounds of cure. GrandCare Systems is passionate about providing those ounces of prevention that allow patients to successfully transition from acute care to heal at home with a technology assist. Only by moving from the monitored life to the analyzed life to the influenced life, can we reverse the cost spiral of post-acute and chronic care.

A downloadable copy of this whitepaper is available HERE.
