Vivid Description

As a group of board certified emergency medicine physicians committed to practicing high quality medicine we will provide care to our patients and their families who live in the under-served areas of our communities.

We succeed by always considering and prioritizing two significant needs in our decision-making processes: the needs of our patients will come first and the needs of the group will come second succeed by always maintaining an excellent working relationship with the hospital administrations that we collaborate with in this endeavor.

We will only work within hospital systems that share these ideals. We are known as leaders and innovators in the hospital, with the medical staff, and in the emergency medicine community. Our group will be a desired group to work for because of our commitment to care of our patients and meeting the individual needs of our physicians and staff. While being committed to meeting the goals of the group, we will always maintain a high priority on family and individual growth in our lives.

FLECS has a strong commitment to improving our quality of care. As such, we have a vigorous quality assurance program. The highlights of our program include:

• Review and callbacks on positive culture results
• Callbacks on radiology reading discrepancies
• A formal peer review process
• Daily random peer review

We are continuously striving to minimize medical errors, maintain our medical knowledge and clinical skills at highest possible level, and provide excellent patient care.
