Cogent is a leading provider of services that improve the well-being of hospitalized patients while reducing associated costs through the management of specialist physician networks. By being on-site in hospitals when patients and other physicians need them, these specialists, often referred to as hospitalists, are able to attend to a patient’s changing condition, rather than waiting for the primary care physician to arrive.
The Cogent program is centered around two basic concepts: 1) physicians should spend a majority of their time performing clinical functions and communicating with patients; and 2) a clinical, technological and administrative infrastructure is required to sustain clinical and financial objectives.
