Adding a dedicated team of board-certified SAMGI surgicalists can increase surgical volume. Operations are timelier and are no longer deferred until on-call, local surgeons’ elective cases, or clinic activities are completed. Also, the accessibility of a SAMGI high-quality trauma and acute care surgery program enables a hospital to build a reputation that attracts an increase in patients transferred to it for emergency surgeries vs. having to send trauma/ACS patients to other facilities for prompt treatment and surgery.

There is a direct correlation between 24/7/365 surgicalist availability and decreased LOS. Inherent in this metric is improved quality of care through the elimination of surgical delays that reduce complication rates and improve patient outcomes. And since emergency patients undergo surgery without delay, hospital throughput typically improves while the availability of beds increases.

Our highly qualified surgeons manage patients as a team in accordance with evidence-based guidelines and standardized best practices across our programs that reduce variations in care. This standardization of care, along with the requirement that our surgeons provide documentation supporting the resources patients require, typically leads to significant improvement in CMI.
