Tenet understands that as a physician, your primary concern is the quality of care your patients will receive. Our commitment to continually improving the quality of patient care can be seen throughout our entire organization.
Below are a few of the advantages for physicians interested in partnering with Tenet hospitals.
Focus on Quality
Tenet’s Commitment to Quality strives to improve the quality of medical care and patient safety at our hospitals by evaluating processes and promoting best practices.
Focus on Service
Tenet’s Target 100 program is a system-wide program that aims to bring a true customer service culture to our hospitals. Target 100 seeks to achieve 100 percent satisfaction among our patients, physicians and employees. We are working to differentiate Tenet hospitals as better places to practice medicine, better places to practice medicine and better places to receive care.
Investment in Facilities
Reinvesting in hospitals to expand existing services and programs is a critical part of Tenet’s strategy.
Medical Leadership of Tenet Hospitals
The medical staff of each Tenet facility has significant representation on local governing boards, with physician members in most cases comprising at least one-half of the board. Emphasis on physician participation in the governance of its hospitals sets Tenet apart from many U.S. hospitals and health systems.
Physician Advisory Board
To foster medical leadership throughout the company, Tenet has developed a Physician Advisory Board (PAB) made up of physicians affiliated with various Tenet facilities. The PAB provides a forum for discussion of companywide issues, especially those focusing on quality and outcomes measures. The PAB also is used to introduce and educate physicians about key issues that have physician practice implications, such as managed care developments and technological advancements.
Support for Education and Academic Medicine
Tenet has long supported medical education programs for physicians, nurses and other health professionals, as demonstrated by its academic affiliations with major medical universities across the country.
