Leverage Relationships for Patient Acquisition

Business development teams effectively engage emergency rooms by providing immediate assistance and showcasing their expertise in patient evaluation and stabilization. This approach not only relieves pressure from overwhelmed ERs but also strategically fills beds at Acadia, especially with privately insured patients, leading to increased revenue. By deploying assessors to emergency departments, Acadia aims to conduct objective evaluations for hospitalization necessity, blurring the lines of impartiality since the assessors are employees of Acadia. This can create conflicts of interest when decisions are made about patient care, particularly if the assessment leans towards hospital admission for financial gain rather than patient need.
