DALLAS and CHANDLER, Ariz., March 12, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Discovery Medical Network (DMN) and TECHealth, An Emergency Services Company®, two industry leaders in healthcare operations, today announced a strategic partnership to address the critical challenge of emergency medicine staffing, particularly in rural and underserved communities. This collaboration aims to make high quality emergency care viable to rural and community hospitals while streamlining the process to adequately evaluate Emergency Department (ED) needs and develop an effective, long-term ED strategy. Rural and community healthcare facilities require a more comprehensive solution that supports access to quality medical, surgical, and emergency care regardless of where a patient lives.
A Match Made for Emergency Healthcare
By combining DMN's deep-rooted expertise in physician recruitment, contracting, onboarding, and continuing education with TECHealth's extensive experience in emergency medicine services, staffing, and ED operations, this partnership offers a unique and powerful solution for hospitals and providers alike. "We are excited to partner with TECHealth to provide a more comprehensive solution to the challenges facing emergency medicine staffing," said Bruce Miller, Executive Vice President at Discovery Medical Network. "By working together to match providers seeking emergency care roles with under-supported hospitals, we can continue to enhance patient outcomes in communities across the country, while addressing staffing and operational challenges."
Through their partnership, DMN and TECHealth will provide solutions that:
- Streamline the Staffing Process: Simplify the complex process of emergency care physician and/or nurse practitioner recruitment, credentialing, and onboarding, saving hospitals time, resources, and in some instances cost savings.
- Foster Strong Provider-Hospital Relationships: Cultivate sustainable partnerships with rural providers and hospitals, offering collaborative placement strategies for long-term relationships between providers and emergency medicine facilities.
- Support Community Healthcare: Focus on addressing the specific needs of community-based healthcare providers, ensuring access to high-quality, comprehensive, convenient care in underserved areas.
- Create Supportive ER Culture: The primary key to success is creating a facility and team where quality physicians and staff want to work. This focus drives the successes of supporting staff, culture, support tools, facility, EMR, and other operational components. A supportive culture acts as a clarion call for other like-minded physicians and staff to join the team and leave a mark with leadership, clinical care, and the patient experience.
A Shared Commitment to Excellence
This partnership not only marks an exciting milestone in DMN and TECHealth's history of providing holistic healthcare solutions; it also aligns perfectly with their mission to serve rural Texas hospitals by bringing best-in-class patient-centered emergency medicine to rural communities.
The foundation of this unique program is a shared commitment to excellence and dedication to helping health care facilities deliver exceptional care while also ensuring their staffing needs are met while closely monitoring the financial cost to do so. The result is a re-defining approach to delivering emergency care while providing an excellent patient and clinical staff experience.
"By combining our strengths, we can offer a strategic partnership that connects like-minded hospitals and healthcare providers in communities facing a shortage in emergency care. Our multi-step hiring process allows us to carefully vet and match physicians and nurse practitioners with intention, aligning the individual needs of each provider and each facility," said Steve Tatum, Executive Marketing Director at TECHealth.
