Timeliness of Care: an interview with Dr. Scott Newton

Value-based care provides improved outcomes at the same or reduced costs—and in order to achieve those outcomes, a high level of process reliability is essential.  This is done through a combination of people, technology, equipment, supplies and process that leads to consistency—and an environment where it’s possible to deliver highly reliable outcomes.

Spend some time today with Scott Newton, DNP, RN, MHA, EMT-P, Vice President of Care Model Solutions at TeleTracking—and a patient flow expert with 25 years of clinical experience who will share his experience with this care model and how to achieve positive outcomes at your organization.
