Meadowlands Hospital(2010-2013)

Pegasus Emergency Group began working at Meadowlands in December 2010 when the hospital was sold to private investors and went on to manage the Emergency Department for 3 years. Before Pegasus joined the MHMC team, the Emergency Department suffered from long waits and inefficiency, poor Press Ganey scores (below the 50th percentile), no electronic medical records (EMR), inconsistent leadership, high left-without-being-seen (LWBS) rates, declining patient volume (approximately 15,000/year), and a poor community reputation.

During our 3 years at MHMC, Pegasus developed an excellent relationship with the owners, administration, radiology department and new residents. As a result of this collaboration, MHMC ED became one of the hospital’s strongest departments. Dedicated to the safety and health of our community, we helped to create two satellite EDs during Superstorm Sandy and Hurricane Irene. MHMC was the only ED open in Hudson County during Hurricane Sandy.

During our three years managing the Emergency Department , the Pegasus team:

Established an excellent group of emergency medicine board-certified physicians, emergency physician assistants and scribes.

Developed a computerized physician order entry system.

Improved Press Ganey scores by 400%.

Reduced arrival-to-provider time to less than 30 minutes and lowered LBWS rates to less than 1%.

Increased ED volume growth by 30% to 20,000 patients/year.

Developed an excellent reputation within the community.

Hired a fellowship-trained EMS director and developed a specialty care transport unit (SCTU) for the local community.

Provided high-quality training for residents and medical students from Touro School of Medicine during their emergency department rotations.
