Delivering more care in outpatient settings has been one result: 'St, Scsioh Vice President IxTCRMorxHi.v Health Care Where is IHC in all this? ... Many excellent physician clinics and outpatient centers exist in the Intermountain West. IHC is affiliated with several. We have developed a concept called the IHC Health Center. These centers include physician offices, of the changes you likely to experience health care is that increasingly more of your care will be provided outside the hospital in outpatient centers and clinics. One Although the concept of outpatient care is not new, it is becoming more common as hospitals and health networks focus on making care more affordable and more convenient. Outpatient care also matches society's expectations that health care shift from sick care to health maintenance and prevention. Outpatient care makes sense in todays managed care environment and is an advantage to consumers for several reasons: First, outpatient care typically means lower costs. In the past, hospitals have been the hub of health care activity. However, hospitals, by their nature, are expensive places to operate. Hospitals are open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Some hospi tals are like small cities some have more than 100 departments and more than 3,000 employees. Hospitals are built to very stringent codes.

All of this infrastructure, technology, and staff are necessary to care for hospitalized patients. By contrast, outpatient facili- ties and clinics are far less costly. Most outpatient centers do not operate 24 hours and have fewer costs in everything from building size and design to staff, paperwork, and administrative costs. CONVENIENCE. I, The second advantage offered by outpatient care is greater convenience. Outpatient care lends itself to decentralized care sites, as care moves away from hospitals and back into neighborhood physician offices and clinics.

Finally, outpatient care means the same high-levquality that health care consumers have come to expect in other settings. The same new processes and procedures that are reducing cost also get patients back to work sooner. And as managed care plans seek to maintain the lifelong health of members, neighborhood physician clinics and health centers make it easy for people to obtain the regular preventive care and health education they need. el What has made this evolution of outpatient care possible? Several factors: Medical advances, Diagnostic and surgical tech- niques have been improved; new medical technology has led to 70 percent of surgeries in Utah being done on an outpatient basis. One of many procedures that has shifted largely to outpatient is gallbladder surgery. treatment rooms, and facilities for screenings and health education. 1HQ plans call for building such centers in a number of areas n, .1.

High-power- pharmaceuticals have revolutionized care. For example, a kidney infection that used to require several days of hospitalization can now be treated with an antibiotic administered in a clinic under physician supervision.
