At AdvantageCare Physicians, a pilot program introduced a specialty-focused care team model within cardiology practices in NYC and Long Island, aiming to improve patient care quality, physician productivity, and access.
Team Structure & Training
The team included medical assistants (MAs) and cardiac procedure coordinators (CPCs), trained to support doctors in preparing, coordinating, and following up on patient visits. Their roles included vital sign checks, scheduling, and pre- and post-op support, ensuring smooth clinical workflows.
Key Performance Outcomes
The study showed notable improvements:
Patient Access: New consults rose by 15%, with a decrease in third next available appointment wait times.
Productivity: Visit volume and procedure rates, including echocardiograms, significantly increased.
Quality of Care: Patient satisfaction remained high, confirming no compromise in care despite the increased load.
In the Patient-Centered Medical Home setting, the specialty-specific care team approach led to marked enhancements in efficiency, access, and productivity while maintaining quality—an effective model for Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs).
