Cook Children’s Partners with Buxton for Expansion Strategy
Fort Worth, Texas (PRWEB) August 01, 2013 -- Cook Children’s Health Care System, a nationally-recognized pediatric health care organization based in Fort Worth, Texas, has partnered with Buxton® to craft a strategy for efficient expansion and to better understand patient health care preferences.
Currently, Cook Children’s operates more than 60 primary and specialty care offices throughout the North Texas region. With a service region that encompasses six counties and an additional referral area encompassing nearly half the state, the organization wants to better understand the location needs of its broad patient base.
“As Cook Children’s continues to grow, we will focus on optimizing new and existing locations to bring quality health care services closer to our patients,” said Christian Pedigo, assistant vice president of system planning for Cook Children’s. “By utilizing Buxton’s analytics, we gain a greater understanding of not only the best locations for primary care clinics, but also the health care preferences of our patients and their families. We look forward to gaining new insights about our patients and enhancing our delivery of health care services.”
“This is an exciting time for Buxton and Cook Children’s,” said Tom Buxton, founder and CEO of Buxton. “In a world that talks about big data, Buxton continues to focus on BIG answers, providing health care organizations with the most accurate and actionable insights available. We look forward to assisting Cook Children’s in creating an efficient strategy for growing their primary care clinic network and better understanding their patients.”
By becoming a Buxton client, Cook Children’s will have access to SCOUT®, Buxton’s proprietary web-based real estate platform, giving organization leaders data and information at their fingertips to analyze different areas of the Cook Children's service region.
