Quality
Better Together. Beloit Health System Unites Stateline Health Care.
Beloit Memorial Hospital and Beloit Clinic are now one integrated health system, and patients agree, we are "better together". As of January 1, 2010 the two independent healthcare providers partnered to form Beloit Health System.
"This integration creates a stronger healthcare system for stateline residents," explains Greg Britton, President and CEO of Beloit Health System. "Our goal is for patients to enjoy improvements in convenience, service and technology in their local medical care."
What other benefits will this partnership mean for stateline residents?
Better Access
Now as Beloit Health System, we will provide residents with convenient access to over 118 primary care and specialized physicians. The communication between doctors and caregivers will be more streamlined and you will find a better continuum of care throughout this system. These efficiencies will allow doctors to spend more time with their patients.
Better choices
You will still have the ability to see your doctor and receive the specialized treatment you need, just as before, only now you will have 11 locations to choose from. The new system will also increase our ability to recruit and retain the best physicians available.
Better Technology
Beloit Health System will increase your access to technology, by reducing duplication of services such as MRI, CT or Lab services. By reducing this duplication, we will have the means to purchase new, state-of-the-art technology to provide the best care possible.
"We are very pleased with the progress of this integration," adds Britton. "The physicians and staff of both the hospital and clinic have worked diligently to make this a smooth transition. The community is the true winner in this partnership. Containing costs will allow us to expand services such as cardiac and critical care in the future."
Health Care Decisions Are Local
As an integrated system, Beloit Health System will have the ability to assess and deliver healthcare based on what local residents need and desire. The leadership of the system has one leadership board consisting of 11 board members (four physicians and seven independent community members). These are physicians and business people who have the health and happiness of our residents as their primary concern. The strength and future success of our healthcare system is based on this localized component.
One of the hospital’s next steps is to expand the Hospitalist Program and launch an Intensivist Service. This will include a multidisciplinary team of cardiolgoists, pulmonologists, and hospitalists to care for those patients who are critically ill. "This is another example of the new expanded services we can provide as a strong integrated system," adds Britton.
