Ridgeland, MS (PRWEB) July 28, 2014

The Healthcare Delivery Institute at HORNE LLP recently announced the graduates of its Advanced Training Program in Healthcare Delivery Improvement.

The program is a sister-program to Dr. Brent James' internationally recognized Advanced Training Program at Intermountain Healthcare.

As a result, health care providers will be directly impacted," said HDI Director Thomas Prewitt, M.D. "Given HORNE's long tenure of service and our depth of experience in the health care industry, we believe it is our responsibility to help providers prepare for the new health care delivery models of the future."
