Kunal Bhagat, M.D., FACP, and Felipe
Orellana, M.D., Honored by ACP Hospitalist
IPC Healthcare, Inc. (Nasdaq: IPCM), a leading national acute
hospitalist and post-acute provider organization, announced today
that Kunal Bhagat, M.D., FACP, and Felipe Orellana, M.D., were
named two of the nation’s Top Ten Hospitalists in the November
issue of ACP Hospitalist, a publication of the American College of
Physicians.
Dr. Bhagat, who joined IPC in 2012, is currently serving as
IPC’s Practice Group Leader for Christiana Hospital located in
Newark, Delaware. He provides daily clinical leadership for the
facility’s hospitalists and serves on five hospital committees. Dr.
Bhagat is also a Lean Six Sigma Team Leader and, in this role led
his team on a project to lower inappropriate physical therapy
consults, successfully reducing the rate from 40% to approximately
10-15%. Additionally, in 2014, Dr. Bhagat was named an IPC
“Clinician of the Year.”
Dr. Orellana has been with IPC for nearly 12 years and serves as
IPC’s Practice Group Leader at Barnes-Jewish St. Peters Hospital, a
community hospital that is part of BJC HealthCare. There, he also
serves as the Chief Medical Officer for the hospital. To help
address the potential shortage of hospital medicine physicians, Dr.
Orellana implemented a program to recruit and use more physician
extenders into his IPC team mix. The initiative has been very
successful and the workflow has improved significantly.
Dr. Orellana also has the distinction of being a graduate of the
2011 IPC-UCSF Fellowship for Healthcare Leaders program. The
Fellowship is a customized program developed for IPC providers
through a partnership with UCSF’s Division of Hospital Medicine
(http://hospitalmedicine.ucsf.edu/) and the Center for the Health
Professions (http://futurehealth.ucsf.edu/). The program’s vision
is to develop a cadre of effective and inspiring leaders to work
within their facilities to promote positive change in health
care.
“We are extremely proud that both Dr. Bhagat and Dr. Orellana
have been honored by ACP Hospitalist as two of the country’s
preeminent hospitalists,” said Adam Singer, M.D., chairman and CEO
of IPC. “Both are natural born leaders who work tirelessly to
achieve superior performance and are diligent about promoting our
physician-facility alignment with their respective hospitals. Along
with their demonstrated clinical expertise, both physicians
exemplify IPC’s core values of leadership, teamwork and
professionalism.”
Drs. Bhagat and Orellana are the eighth and ninth IPC physicians
to be named a “Top Hospitalist” by ACP Hospitalist.
