When hospital clinical teams operate in silos, it drives tremendous inefficiencies in patient care. The challenges associated with suboptimal transfers and ineffective collaboration often lead to negative patient experience and poor hospital reputation in the community. In this case study, we cover how clinical integration between emergency and hospital medicine provides many benefits to hospitals.

​Highlights include:

• Improving ED and HM reputation among medical staff
• Benefits of patient-centered processes
• Impact of strong recruitment, training, and leadership
• Realizing the power of integration
