IPC Healthcare Acquires Tampa-Based Psychiatry Group
23 Settembre 2015 - 2:01PM
IPC Healthcare, Inc. (Nasdaq:IPCM), a leading national acute
hospitalist and post-acute provider organization, announced today
that it has acquired the psychiatry practice of Ashit K. Vijapura,
M.D. The Tampa, Florida-based practice focuses on providing
psychiatry services in both acute and post-acute settings.
"We are pleased to welcome Dr. Vijapura and his team to the IPC
family, as both acute and post-acute settings are increasingly
seeing a need for quality behavioral health clinical programs. Dr.
Vijapura's practice will expand our intellectual capital and
capabilities in this important subspecialty area to another IPC
market," said R. Jeffrey Taylor, president and COO of IPC
Healthcare.
Taylor added, "A large percentage of patients who become
hospitalized or treated in a skilled nursing facility also suffer
from temporary or chronic behavioral health issues. Unless treated
effectively, these issues can negatively affect treatment costs and
patient outcomes. As the healthcare environment moves to a greater
focus on population health management, we believe that behavioral
health services will play an increasingly important role at
IPC."
Dr. Vijapura will join IPC as a Practice Group Leader in the
Tampa area.
This acquisition is expected to add more than 24,500 encounters
on a combined annualized basis.
