Inside a 1,000-Provider Multi-Specialty Group | Tesha Simpson, Millennium Physician Group

A 1,000-provider physician group with 200+ locations and 25+ specialties. Does it need to own all of them? Tesha Simpson, CEO of Millennium Physician Group, says no. In this segment she explains how her team decides what to bring in-house and what to partner on: "do we believe that we need to build everything and everything needs to be under the roof of Millennium? And the answer is no." The answer, in practice, has been both. She also walks through what multi-specialty integration actually delivers. One leadership team across primary and specialty care. One EHR, so your cardiologist already has your imaging and progress notes. Total cost of care measured without trading away quality. And a hospitalist who greets the patient within seconds of admission, then manages the transition back to primary care so they aren't readmitted within seven to 30 days. On how they choose where to focus, she points to utilization data across their value-based population — rising cardiac procedure volumes — and the harder question underneath it: whether every recommended procedure is right for the whole patient, including one her own father was told he needed while living with advanced dementia.
