“Telehealth Solution has been a godsend for a small rural critical access hospital with limited resources. Our patients and our staff have been overwhelmingly supportive of telemedicine and we truly feel that we are providing a more comprehensive service to our community.”
TeleHealth Solution: How It Works
Our equipment, your nurse, and basic Wi-Fi means a patient’s H&P and admission to your critical access hospital is handled exactly the same as if a hospitalist was physically there. Learn more about working with our 24/7 on-demand access to professional TeleHospitalist doctors who can remotely review labs, enter orders, and admit then manage patients — even code blues and rapid response, for nocturnal coverage or cross coverage or anytime coverage.
Patient Needs Medical Attention
A new patient is admitted from the Emergency Room to your critical access hospital and needs to be examined OR an in-house patient has experienced a change in medical condition and needs to be examined by one of our physicians.
Instant access to a TeleHospitalist
Your nurse calls our TeleHospitalist and if the patient is a new admission, our physician will perform the history and physical and enter admission orders. If it is a current floor patient, the doctor will discuss the patient’s status with the nurse and will determine if a bedside evaluation is needed. If simple orders are needed without an evaluation, they will be entered into the EMR by our physician.
Clinical Staff Assisted Examination
Our remote TeleHospitalist will instruct your rural critical access nursing staff- in real time- to assist in evaluation. The physician will communicate face to face with the patient about their medical complaints and perform an evaluation with a variety of diagnostic tools including, a virtual stethoscope to high-definition cameras on our Telemedicine Technology Cart.

Diagnosing the Patient
The TeleHospitalist is now able to make an informed diagnosis in real time. We can order additional labs / tests, continue to manage that patient, and document the encounter in your (EMR).
Continuity of Care
Our TeleHospitalist are always available during your contracted hours, to address any patient related medical issues.
The National Rural Health Association warns, “More than 70 rural critical access hospitals have closed and counting. Right now, 673 additional facilities are vulnerable and could close – this represents over 1/3 of rural hospitals in the U.S.” TeleHealth Solution can help critical access hospitals by keeping the treatment of the patient—and the revenue generated by that patient—local. At the same time, we protect the rural community’s doctor from becoming overwhelmed and burnt out. TeleHealth Solution benefits everyone.“

Amazing Patient Satisfaction
“With our no-up-front-cost pricing model, any hospital can implement TeleHealth Solution. The increased revenue from admitting more patients instead of transferring them—plus the cost-savings from not hiring a full-time hospitalist—gives you money for other projects. Add to that the reduced burnout rates among your rural doctors and the increased recruitment appeal for new doctors, and your hospital will see a multi-focal ROI.”
