NDHI NAT IONAL DIALOGUE FOR Healthcare Innovation Expanding Urgent Care Access Organization Overview • Texas Health Resources is one of the largest faith-based, nonprofit health systems in the United States, which owns, operates, or affiliates with 25 acute-care and short-stay hospitals • Adeptus Health owns and operates First Texas Hospital and First Choice Emergency Room, the nation’s largest and oldest network of independent freestanding emergency rooms Background Population center growth has outpaced the expansion of acute-care hospital systems, leaving patients in more rural areas without access to necessary facilities. These patients often have to drive long distances to receive urgent care. Often, the patients are treated at hospital-based emergency rooms, although most acute illnesses can be treated effectively and efficiently in freestanding emergency facilities. Texas Health has responded to demand from patients, expanding its reach through a partnership with Adeptus Health to improve the health of patients in rural communities. Initiative Details In May 2016, Texas Health Resources and Adeptus Health developed a joint venture that aims to increase access to high-quality emergency medical care in North Texas. Through the joint venture, over 30 of Adeptus Health’s First Choice freestanding emergency departments, as well as a 50-bed urgent care hospital, have become part of the Texas Health network. This joint venture expands the reach of Texas Health’s network of hospitals and outpatient centers to over 350 care sites, serving more than 7 million residents in 16 counties in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. “ Value Delivered • Through their partnership, Texas Health Resources and Adeptus Health are broadening the choices of North Texans seeking emergency care • Patients will benefit from simplified and convenient emergency care, as well as enhanced access to the health system’s other services, such as wellness programs, preventive care services, and advanced interventions for complex care Path Forward “Expanding our footprint in the region is about making it easier for consumers to find quality, convenient care close to home.” “ Barclay E. Berdan, FACHE CEO of Texas Health Resources This innovative venture between two leading health care systems is an important step in fulfilling the systems’ goal of expanding access to the highest-quality medical care in the communities the partnership serves. In the short-term, the First Choice ERs will be rebranded to Texas Health. The long-term goal of the joint venture is to expand access to Texas Health’s integrated delivery network.
