Aegis’ physician relationship management program combines the latest technology with a high-touch approach that helps hospitals better connect with their medical staff’s needs and professional goals. Aegis’ proprietary PRISM software allows hospitals to track and respond to individual doctor’s requests in a personal and efficient manner and measure the value of building long-term relationships with their physicians using a data- and results-driven approach.
FHN is an award-winning regional healthcare system serving communities in northwestern Illinois and southern Wisconsin. More than 100 medical and allied health staff provide care in 23 regional locations throughout the area, including FHN Memorial Hospital in Freeport, Illinois. An average of 1,500 people come to FHN daily for their healthcare needs.
“At the same time we’re focused on providing exceptional care to every patient, we are committed to ensuring that our physicians’ needs are continually identified and met,” said Mark Gridley, vice president of physician services at FHN. “Through our new physician referral program, we are striving to better align FHN with its physician community and solidify relationships with local residents.”
