Q: What is the primary benefit of a specialty heart hospital?
A: A new hospital dedicated to the treatment of cardiovascular care provides Southeastern Wisconsin with a premier, state-of-the-art heart care facility. Our joint venture affiliation with a local, faith-based hospital system in equal partnership with physicians, ensures a cost-effective operation that is built on mutual respect and a common focus on patient care.
Q: How does the hospital hold down health care costs?
A: Our focus on holding down costs is through the use of the latest technological advances and treatment, and using new cardiovascular procedures that are less invasive. Less invasive procedures result in shorter recovery times, and a shorter hospital stay. Shorter recovery also reduces patient expense, suffering, and facilitates early return to a productive lifestyle.
Q: How does the need for high quality relate to cost-effectiveness?
A: The Wisconsin Heart Hospital creates a true partnership between a healthcare system and physicians. Allowing physicians to partake in the governance of the facility leads to greater ownership of outcomes and reduced costs. Through a focused approach and the latest technology, The Wisconsin Heart Hospital will continually be implementing increased non-invasive procedures, cutting down the length of stay and ultimately the cost of care.
Q: How does The Wisconsin Heart Hospital’s vision of care differ from other, more traditional health care providers?
A: The Wisconsin Heart Hospital leadership is a team of creative, innovative health care professionals, dedicated to the patient and family. The hospital itself has been designed to provide premium accessibility and convenience to its patients and their families. Unique to its vision is its intense focus on shaping the future of cardiovascular services and the shift to an ambulatory arena. The hospital provides comprehensive care, implementing non-invasive procedures whenever possible to return patients to normal, productive lives as soon as possible. As patients’ needs change, our team administers the appropriate changes to maintain its innovative programming and services.
