Rehabilitation Hospitals
Rehabilitation hospital staff are committed to providing meaningful care to patients with injuries or disabling conditions who are on the road to recovery. Setbacks are discouraging for the patient and for those providing care. Access to multiple specialties provides a comprehensive care plan for recovery and a return to the best possible life.
Immediate access to acute care services keeps patients stable and prevents transfers to the emergency department. Logn term care hospitals benefit from nocturnal telehospitalist services, which improves recruiting and retention by improving work-life balance for local providers. Behavioral health and acute pulmonary services have prevented hundreds of transfers to the emergency department by bringing expertise to the bedside.
Telemedicine provides access to specialists who are not on staff and supplements existing specialists for around the clock care needs, ensuring patients are continually progressing. Telehospitalists offload overnight cross-cover calls and help to prevent unnecessary transfers to the emergency department.
Patients appreciate the access to specialty care that helps them continue to heal. Local providers appreciate the support of specialty providers and the work-life balance of telemedicine support. Hospital administrators appreciate the improved access to care, quality outcomes, and retained patients.
