Adeptus Health International is a health provider hospital located in Lewisville, Texas, United States Of America. It operates free-standing emergency rooms which is the largest health emergency provider in the United States. Adeptus was founded in 2002 with its first emergency room based in Dallas suburb, Flower Mound in Texas headed by Thomas Hall, the President, and Chief Executive Officer.
In 2014, Adeptus became a public company and it begun trading in the New York Stock Exchange with 4.9 million shares at $22 per share. It is an independent hospital emergency provider operating to take care of people who need health care attention immediately. This company is of interest because of the rate at which it is expanding to provide community medical care emergency services without depending on the government.
Adeptus’ mission is to provide access to the highest quality medical care to the community that it serves by changing the delivery of emergency care and hence help save lives every day. Since emergency care demand is increasing because of the growing number of insured individuals, more emergency facilities are needed in all the states, and one way of meeting the growing demands is by building more emergency rooms.
Adeptus is utilizing the available market opportunity to increase access to emergency care in the United States. According to AHA, the number of emergency rooms increased by 46.7% since 1992 to 2002 but emergency departments’ number decreased by 11.4%. In 2012, there were 400 freestanding emergency rooms in the whole of United States while the retail clinics and ambulatory surgery centers were at 1,400 and 6,000 respectively.
Emergency care is critically an underserved market in the United States.The increasing number of millions of Americans who require immediate emergency care for injuries and illness, can only be solved by increasing the number of freestanding emergency rooms so that they can have an access to high quality emergency care. This will ultimately improve patient experience compared to the traditional hospital emergency departments by providing access to qualified physicians and reducing wait time.

The purpose of constructing of an emergency room in Arizona is to improve access to medical care in the area and help save lives by decreasing patient wait time through the presence of qualified health physicians.
Emergency care in the United States is underserved, and the present system is overburdened by inadequate health experts and emergency facilities. According to the American Hospital Association, emergency demand has grown dramatically as the need of emergency rooms increased from 90.8 million in 1992 to 133.2 million in 2002. However, the emergency room departments have declined from 5,035 in 1992 to 4,460 in 2012.
Project Management Approach
The project manager has the overall mandate of overseeing all of the project activities. The project team includes the quality control and assurance group who has the task of finding out if the project will have any negative impact on the environment. The recourses for the project are from donors and well wisher including the University Of Colorado Health.
Conclusion
Construction of a free-standing emergency facility in Arizona will expand access to highest quality emergency care in the community. In 2014, National Report Card, a D- grade was given the access of emergency care in the United States by the American College of Emergency Physician (ACEP). The low grade is an indicator that emergency departments are few, and the rising demands of the growing and aging population cannot be met. Expanding emergency facilities in Arizona is a way of increasing access to emergency care and help serve the core mission of saving lives.
