Integrated healthcare systems, like HCA and HealthONE, have greater access to best demonstrated clinical practices because there are more places to try and learn new processes or technologies – all this enables our hospitals and outpatient centers to deliver top quality care and improve patient outcomes. — Jeff Dorsey, President & CEO, HealthONE |
At its founding in 1968, Nashville-based HCA was one of the nation's first hospital companies. Today, HCA is the nation's leading provider of healthcare services, a company composed of locally managed facilities in 20 states and London and employing nearly 200,000 people. Nearly five percent of all inpatient care delivered in the country today is provided by HCA facilities.
HCA’s “Patients First” approach to business is grounded in clinical quality; decentralized decision-making and local identity; ethics & compliance; physician alignment; capital investments; healthy work environment; community involvement; and leveraging our size.
Inclusive healthcare systems, like HCA, have greater access to best demonstrated clinical practices because there are more places to try and learn new processes or technologies – all this enables our hospitals and outpatient centers to deliver top quality care and improve patient outcomes. Size also allows us to be more efficient – we can negotiate better discounts with vendors and suppliers, and we can centralize business functions, such as accounting and purchasing services, without much duplication. These help lower costs so there is more money available to re-invest in our facilities and in the community.

HealthONE is the first hospital system in Colorado to publicly post our average ER Wait Times – including separate Pediatric ER Wait Times for our youngest patients. This transparency is part of our commitment to better serve our communities’ healthcare needs and help patients find the quickest access to high-quality emergency medical care across the Metro area.
At HealthONE, we take a “Patients First” approach. Every patient, at every HealthONE hospital and outpatient center, receives compassionate care that meets the highest clinical standards.
Leading the Rocky Mountain Region
The most important focus for HealthONE nurses, employees and physicians is providing high-quality, safe patient care across our hospitals and outpatient centers – and continuing to lead the Rocky Mountain Region in improving quality and access to care.
As part of a large system, HealthONE offers Memorial Hospital and the people of Colorado Springs many benefits beyond a significant long-term lease payment. Foremost, as a large system, we have more places and resources to determine best practices to improve patient care, allowing us to put them in place quickly.
Benefits to People
HealthONE paid more than $71 million in state and federal taxes in 2010; donated nearly $4 million to nonprofit organizations in our communities; and provided more than $20 million in professional education, community health education, and support of other economic development efforts across the region. If HealthONE operated Memorial, we would add an estimated $10 million a year in additional tax revenue to the city and state for services and improvements.
