Key Skilled Nursing Facility Solutions:
Nocturnal Coverage
Think about the financial cost of keeping on-staff doctors during the night shifts—plus the added stress and risk of physician burnout—and you can easily see how TeleMedicine can help your bottom line and provide the best care. Maintaining a physician in-house with volume that is not cost-neutral continues to be a challenge to hospital administrators and programs.
TeleHealth Solution keeps the bottom line in sight while providing quality, patient-focused care for your nocturnal needs. Your facility could cut the average nocturnal rate of transfers by over half, which in turn would decrease your readmission rates.
Our team of TeleNocturnists provides valuable support for nighttime clinical workers, covers staffing gaps, ensures quick access to talented and trained doctors during the night, while saving money.
24/7 Coverage
Avoid fractured care for your patients. With TeleHealth’s on-demand TeleMedicine, patients can remain on-site and avoid transfers. Telemedicine technology allows us to alleviate the burden of overwhelmed physicians with cross-coverage calls.
Immediate access to our skilled on-call doc provides top-quality care without burdening another provider, and reduces stress on patients, their family, and your staff. This encounter can be a simple phone call or be a real-time, face-to-face video examination in high-resolution. Our services adapt to every situation.
Virtual Medical Director
Whether on an as-needed basis or to fill in for a set period of time, we can fulfill the responsibilities and serve as Medical Director of your facility.
Code Blue/Rapid Response
Through TeleMedicine encounters, we can handle a code for you, virtually. That instant response, on-demand, means you never have to wait for a doctor, and you can keep your patient in their current position.
Admissions at Critical Access Hospitals
Allow us to provide virtual admissions at a critical access hospital where physical staffing coverage can be difficult. Eliminate the wait, saving time, saving money, and saving lives.
Our turnkey services adapt to every situation.
Benefits Included with Every Custom Solution
No matter which services you choose as part of your custom solution, you will always receive the following benefits:
End-of-Life Care Conversations
The hardest conversation to have with a patient or their family is about end-of-life care. If appropriate and requested, our compassionate TeleHospitalists can remove that burden from your staff and provide an immediate, gentle, face-to-face discussion. That means no more agonizing wait until the doctor arrives.
Reduce Readmissions
Unscheduled readmissions are costly, put patients at risk for complications, and are largely preventable. Our board-certified hospitalists understand the distinction between management that requires inpatient hospitalization and what can be treated as outpatient.
We can triage and give a virtual exam to patients who are acutely ill, keeping them comfortably in your facility while reducing transfers and readmissions.
Enjoy the substantial cost savings from preventing costly penalizing readmissions (Protecting Access to Medicare Act). Just think: your facility could manage high acuity/complex patient care and help curb ER visits /readmissions while patients remain happily in their familiar environment.
Communicating Patient Care
In the event a patient requires transfer to the ED, our TeleHospitalist will provide direct communication to the emergency room physician. A plan of care will be discussed to expedite the patient’s transfer back to the nursing facility, if appropriate.
We also ensure adequate follow-up care by placing a dictated report in the patient’s chart so the day provider has a summary of events.
Marketing an Edge Over Your Competitors
TeleMedicine can provide you with an edge over your competitors. The peace of mind brought to families and patients by 24/7 physician access is priceless.
Studies have definitively shown that managing the patient in their familiar surroundings leads to greater patient and family satisfaction. We provide you with marketing materials, including videos and handouts, to impress your prospective patients.
Your facility will be among the most technologically advanced in your area. Capitalize on your forward thinking and use TeleMedicine as a way to set your facility apart from the competition.
