Vituity’s Practice of the Year Award recognizes a practice that excels at operational performance while building a team-oriented culture that is empowered to prioritize patient and client satisfaction. |
2024Union HospitalUnion Hospital is home to four Vituity practice lines: Emergency Medicine Hospital Medicine, Critical Care, and Tele-Neurology, and a dedicated team of nearly 70 clinicians and staff. Purposeful integration across these services has fostered exceptional patient care outcomes: setting a new standard for stroke care, earning the American Heart Association's Stroke Gold Plus Quality Award and the Target: Stroke SM Honor Roll Elite Plus Award, and quality improvements in sepsis care outcomes. |
2023
Ascension Via Christi
Four emergency departments from Ascension Via Christi were recognized as Practice of the Year for improving the quality of care for patients and the experience of clinicians at work through collaboration and reflective practices. The St. Francis, St. Joseph, St. Teresa, and Wellington emergency departments serve thousands of patients throughout Kansas from both urban and rural populations. Over the last several years, each site has done its part to implement initiatives and collaboratives to improve outcomes with an emphasis on patient feedback and productivity. |
2022
Beverly Hospital – Emergency Medicine
Seasoned clinicians say there’s something truly special about Beverly. They have a talented clinician team, a strong partnership with nursing, and tremendous support from hospital administration. Despite steadily increasing patient volumes, medical director Joseph Chan, lead physician assistant Gary Felix, and nurse manager Charlene Chu have kept time-to-provider under 15 minutes and walkouts below 1%. This year, the team also significantly reduced time-to-discharge while implementing initiatives like Rapid Medical Evaluation and provider-only discharge.

2021
Adventist Health Hospital at Home Program - Emergency Medicine & Hospital Medicine
The Adventist Health Hospital at Home Program, led by Vituity emergency and hospital medicine teams, is a core example of how a health system and Vituity can partner on a project that is win-win-win for patients, the health system, and the clinicians. With more than 500 patients admitted at home instead of the hospital, they’ve proven that this model not only works and is safe and effective, but it’s also something that patients and clinicians prefer. |
2020
All Vituity Providers
Despite facing a life-threatening pandemic, dealing with significant volume drops, and managing challenging disruptions to personal lives, our Vituity Partners and Advanced Providers came through this year for our patients and our clients in a huge way. There has been so much great work from so many different teams that it's impossible to highlight just one group. From seeing patients in tents and parking lots, innovating in the field and telemedicine, and community outreach, everyone deserves this award for how they stepped up and responded to a pandemic. |
