Shared Knowledge

Since 1995 IPC has built an impressive base of clinical experience and intellectual capital related to the practice of hospital medicine. The collective knowledge of our hospitalist providers allows us to draw from ‘road tested’ solutions to most any performance challenge facing hospitalists today.

IPC shares its collective knowledge through a proprietary web portal known as “SHINE” (Sharing Healthcare Innovation for Nationwide Excellence). SHINE allows our practitioners and management a way to share best practice experiences from the hundreds of facilities we serve. The information is organized by key topic (e.g. patient satisfaction, readmissions management) and is overseen by an IPC ‘domain expert’ who has extensive experience with the particular topic. The domain expert also authors thought pieces on the topic and gathers the most relevant external literature on the topic, so our providers can easily access the latest and greatest information and insights. The interactive nature of SHINE also allows any provider quick access to the domain expert for additional ideas and guidance.
