At the University of Kentucky Chandler Hospital, Lexington, improving quality, patient safety and efficiency along with strengthening relationships with faculty physicians and outlying rural hospitals helped the 436-bed facility boost admissions by 47% and increase operating profits 295%, says Michael Karpf, a physician who's the university's executive vice president of health affairs.
"One of the things that made us successful the past few years is that we have moved to more of an integrated system with the hospital and doctors more aligned," Karpf says.
