The new ACS verification is in addition to affordability of health care for all citizens by promoting transparency and value-based hospital WakeMed’s designation as a Level I Trauma Center by incentives. the North Carolina Office of Emergency Medical Services.

We have also incorporated the scores into our WakeShare formula, which states that 50 percent of our Potential WakeShare Payout Pool will be funded only if both Raleigh Campus and Cary Hospital earn an ‘A’ Hospital Safety Score. Since we did not earn two A’s, we will not qualify for a Payout related to Quality – though the Board could approve a Payout related to Financial Health if that goal is met.

  • I. INTRODUCTION A. History and Background Of
    I. INTRODUCTION A. History and Background of The Cleveland Clinic Foundation A brief history of The Cleveland Clinic Foundation (“CCF” or “Cleveland Clinic”) is necessary to provide background and context for the materials that follow. The Cleveland Clinic was founded in 1921 in Cleveland, Ohio by four physicians who envisioned a group practice in which individual members would share clinical expertise and specialization and dedicate themselves to the education of future medical practitioners, and where innovations in medical procedures and practices would be encouraged through basic and applied research activities. The Cleveland Clinic began with a staff of six surgeons, one radiologist, four internists and one biophysicist. As early as 1921, they recognized that medicine was far too complex for any one person to fully comprehend and that it would be in the best interests of patients if the resources and talents of multiple specialties were pooled for the development and application of the best medical techniques. The four founders also envisioned a corporate structure that would support their vision and one which involved the oversight and direction by a separate board of community trustees in matters unrelated to patient and medical practice issues. The original clinic facility was located on the near east side of Cleveland, in the area where the main campus of CCF is located today. In 1924, CCF opened its first hospital on property near the original clinic facility. To this day, although larger and broader in scope, CCF continues to operate as an integrated and cooperative group practice, as an academic medical center and as an active research institute.
