Trisha’s guest this week is Chase Westen, Chief Administrative Officer with Phoenix ER & Medical Hospital.  This is a micro-hospital located in Chandler, Arizona, and he shares how he is able to maintain a five-minute or less wait time for patients.  We also discuss how to triage patients to determine if they are in an emergency or non-emergency situation, and then guide them to where they can receive effective treatment.  With the rising costs of healthcare, they are very transparent in their costs.  This is a timely and interesting conversation, and I hope you enjoy it as well!
