ELIZABETHTOWN – Bladen County Hospital has added a mid-level provider position to its Emergency Department staff to reduce patient wait times.
A mid-level provider is a physician assistant or nurse practitioner who provides patient care under a supervising physician.
Bladen County Hospital’s new mid-level provider will provide care for non-life threatening injuries.
Cameron Highsmith, Bladen County Hospital CEO, says the hospital monitors wait times and asks for patient feedback through surveys given to patients when they are discharged.
“Our goal is to give the highest quality care in the most efficient way,” said Highsmith.
