Grady Memorial Hospital
Case Study
Issue
The Heart Failure Program at Grady Memorial Hospital identified that many of their patients suffered from a lack of reliable transportation to get to and from their appointments.
Solution
After considering multiple transportation vendors, the Grady team opted to partner with Common Courtesy to arrange ground transportation for their clinic appointments via rideshare providers. Patients no longer had to worry about how they’d get to their appointments, and more of them showed up. The end result is better care for people and communities who need it the most.
According to program manager Diane Wirth, the program has “spread like wildfire” over the past years. Grady Heart Failure was the first department at Grady to start using Common Courtesy, but Grady Social Services, Grady Cancer Center, Grady Infectious Disease, and Grady Behavioral Health quickly followed suit. That means more people receiving better care than ever before, and we’re just getting started.
Grady and Common Courtesy want to continue to allow uncommon results for our Oncology patients. The completion of Oncology care regardless of the transportation challenges is the ultimate goal of patient-centered care. Through the partnership with Common Courtesy, we have reduced missed appointments and increased revenue.
