What it does: Owns and operates medium-sized acute-care hospitals in urban and suburban markets.
How it grew: In 2007, Iasis Healthcare developed the Hospital Medical Management and Quality Program in an effort to standardize data-driven performance management procedures in its hospitals. Soon after its creation, Iasis expanded the program into a sophisticated system of identifying and prioritizing clinical goals and strategies.
Iasis leadership now relies on the program to leverage best practices and refine processes in an effort to continually improve clinical operations. That quest for improvement has driven 81% revenue growth at Iasis since the management program's inception.
According to Iasis Vice President of Communications Michele Simpson, the company's dedication to providing high-quality services and a pattern of using advanced technology have fed the company's growth.
