Hospitals: Quick Care or Tigers Tickets
Posted on: Tuesday, 4 May 2004, 06:00 CDT
DETROIT - There's a new way to get tickets to Detroit Tigers games - spend 30 minutes awaiting care in a hospital emergency room.
A nonprofit hospital company promises patients at its emergency rooms that they will be seen by a doctor in 29 minutes or less. Anyone not seen by then gets a choice of tickets to the Tigers, New Detroit Science Center or Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History.
"It's carved in stone, and it is a symbol of the DMC," chief executive Mike Duggan said Monday. "I want this to be the best health system in the state."
Duggan said the company needs to compete with other area health systems for patients.
His 29-minute initiative copies similar programs at other hospitals in the area.
