“Having a Hospitalist on call for your facility makes all the difference. You work hard to admit patients to your facility and our TeleHospitalist will work hard keeping them there. Hospitalists are acute care management experts and we know what can be treated in your facility.”
Our TurnKey Telemedicine Solution
Imagine telling your in-house medical staff that they no longer have to be burdened with routine floor calls 365 nights a year. TeleHealth Solution provides nocturnal, weekend, and emergency coverage when bedside coverage is not available. Our highly skilled TeleHospitalists will work closely with your nursing staff to deliver quality healthcare in real time via our high tech telemedicine carts. We know you worked hard to get your patients to your facility and we will work tirelessly to keep them there. Our goal is to avoid costly trips to the Emergency Room during nocturnal and weekend hours when your providers are not in house. If your patient does require an Emergency Room trip, we will continue communication with the ER physician and will coordinate care with them in hopes of transitioning care back to your facility to avoid the costly readmission. TeleHealth Solution provides continuity of care for residence. Your nurses will speak to the same virtual Hospitalist through the night until your in house medical providers are present. Our turnkey solution comes with no equipment costs, a low monthly retainer fee and a low per incident charge.
A New Standard In Post Acute Care
If after initial evaluation and management the patient requires transfer to the emergency room, our care does not stop. Our TeleHospitalist will provide direct communication to the emergency room physician and if appropriate a plan of care will be discussed to expedite the patient’s transfer back to the nursing facility.. 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.
Reduce Readmissions
Readmissions are costly, put patients at risk for complications, and are largely preventable. Our Hospitalists understand the distinction between management that requires inpatient hospitalization and what can be treated in your facility.
Why does TeleHealth Solution Provide Hospitalist coverage in Skilled Nursing Facilities (SNF)?
A bedside hospitalist knows the difference between which patients need to be admitted and managed in a hospital versus which patients can remain comfortably at your facility receiving treatment.
This is why a Hospitalist is the most appropriate physician to be in call for your patient’s needs.

Avoid PAMA Penalties
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.
