July 16 2024 - 1:36PM
TeamHealth is excited to announce the launch of the Post-Acute Care
Medical Director Leadership Academy (MDLA), a groundbreaking
program aimed at empowering medical directors with the essential
knowledge and skills to excel in post-acute care settings. The MDLA
is designed to enhance the quality of patient and resident care
through comprehensive education and training.
TeamHealth’s Post-Acute Care service line prioritizes the
highest quality and ensures coordination of care among its medical
directors, clinicians, specialists, and after-hours care providers.
The Post-Acute Care MDLA furthers TeamHealth’s commitment to the
professional development of medical directors and clinicians with
the expertise necessary to elevate their facility’s clinical and
Five-Star Quality Rating System outcomes.
“Our comprehensive Medical Director Leadership Academy fills an
educational gap the field often experiences,” stated Darren
Swenson, MD, MSHQSM, CPE, president of TeamHealth Post-Acute Care.
“With this training, our clinicians will have a competitive
advantage in the Post-Acute ecosystem to lead clinical programs,
including reducing readmissions, improving quality measures, root
cause analysis, and engaging in the facility survey process.”
The MDLA provides a curriculum with two learning paths and 11
courses developed internally by TeamHealth’s Post-Acute Care
regional and national clinical leaders. The courses cover all the
fundamentals needed to perform and excel in a data-driven approach.
Continuing medical education credits will be offered to TeamHealth
clinicians.
