Evidence-based Medicine
Evidence-based medicine forms the foundation of Medcor’s clinical services and business. Care provided by Medcor clinicians is based on scientific evidence of what yields the best outcomes. Standards are set to document best known practices and data elements that are measurable. Training is focused on the standards. Our systems and software are designed to help our clinicians follow the standards. Audits are conducted to ensure compliance with the standards, identify training needs, and to gather data to evaluate the standards themselves. This process drives the Company’s goal of quality improvement toward optimal outcomes. Those outcomes include clinical results and best use of clients’ and patients’ health care dollars.
Medcor’s evidence-based clinical process contrasts with the still-widely accepted practice of the “art of medicine,” which relies more on individual practitioners’ intuition and experience. Medcor’s approach is consistent with the growing demand for measurable results, affordability, and accountability by patients and the buyers of health care—primarily employers, insurers and the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services.
Medcor believes that delivering good medicine is good business, and is committed to supporting its clinicians in delivering good medicine.
