Deborah Ault (aka Nurse Deb) has been a Registered Nurse for 20~ish years with bedside experience in ER and ICU. She is the President of Ault International Medical Management – a company she co-founded over 8 years ago in response to her dis-satisfaction with the insurance industry’s and corporate America’s unwillingness to do “what needed done”. Last year the company had 200% growth – the year prior it had 158% growth. The company practices a model of medical management she created, and which she is in the process of patenting, called P3CM ® which stands for Patient-Centric Comprehensive Care Management. Essentially this model puts a team of nurses in charge of helping each and every sick individual within a health plan to get the care they need to be as healthy as possible as quickly as possible (which benefits everyone in this equation). It’s putting evidence-based medicine into the hands of the sick person, is advocating for the sick person (ensuring that they get the gold-standard of care), helping employers to get the biggest and most effective bang for their buck when it comes to health expenditures, and helping physicians to get care for patients that is going to mean something and will result in actionable data (and will eliminate waste) increasing the accuracy and efficiency of their efforts.
