Nashville is about to get a new clinic to serve the under-served Medicare population: Dedicated Senior Medicare Centers is opening a facility in the Bordeaux area this fall.
It may sound like just another clever marketing strategy to say that Dedicated Senior Medical Centers puts patients first, but they have the track record to substantiate their claims.
Some stats regarding their primary and preventive health care for seniors:
Dedicated patients spend 38% fewer days in the hospital as well as fewer hospital, ER, and urgent care visits
Physicians at Dedicated only see from 350 to 450 patients per year versus a U.S. average of 2,300 patients being seen annually by a physician
In 2015, when patients were asked how likely they were to recommend the company to a friend or colleague, ChenMed’s (Dedicated’s parent company) score was 90%, which compares to an average score of 12% among health insurance companies and was a higher score than such well-regarded companies as Apple and Southwest Airlines
ChenMed was named To Newsweek's list of The Most Loved Workplaces for 2021 and placed first in the Healthcare category
Fortune magazine named ChenMed as one of their 2020 Change the World companies
The formula is fairly simple: Dedicated offers personalized primary care, smaller patient panels, and frequent physician team discussions. Physicians will see patients as often as necessary, and specialists are on site to provide coordinated team care.
Dedicated’s centers are located in urban areas with a high density of low-to-moderate-income seniors, and the new Nashville location will be in the Bordeaux neighborhood.
A full range of Primary and Preventive Care services will be offered, plus:
Onsite diagnostic testing, including, X-rays, labs, and testing
Medications supplied at site
Cardiology
Acupuncture
Nursing
Podiatry
Nursing services
Social workers, and door-to-doctor transportation.
