Galen Exceeds National Benchmarks
Galen has a demonstrable track record of improving the efficacy and efficiency of care at client hospitals and has significantly reduced bed days and average length of stay. At a recent contract start up, Galen reduced the average length of stay by 36% from a benchmark of 5.9 days to 3.8 days resulting in a significantly lower cost per case.

Not only have Galen physicians improved efficiency during the initial start-up of a contract, but they have been able to continuously build upon this improvement and outperform PCPs at client hospitals.

Galen physicians demonstrate expertise in the care of common inpatient disorders and use their excellent diagnostic and management skills to work with the hospital and medical staff to expedite care, quickly responding to crises and changes in patients’ conditions. Galen physicians decrease cost per discharge through appropriate management of diagnostic tests, procedures, pharmaceuticals, and consultations for the acute care needs of patients.
