Providing 24/7 On-Demand Tele-Hospitalist Care to Small Rural and Suburban Hospitals
Our flagship initiative trains Advanced Practice Provider(APPs) which includes Nurse Practitioners(NPs) and Physician Assistants(PAs) to serve as Hospitalists in rural hospitals.Supported by 24/7 Telemedicine consultations with MD-Hospitalists and Specialists, this model ensures continuity and quality of care.
With TeleHCN, small rural and suburban hospitals can enjoy the following benefits:
- Access to specialist expertise: Tele-hospitalist coverage allows small hospitals to access specialist expertise remotely, without the need to transfer patients to larger medical centers. This ensures that patients receive timely and appropriate care, even for complex conditions
- Continuity of care: Tele-hospitalist coverage ensures consistent and continuous care for patients. With virtual access to hospitalists, patients can receive immediate attention and follow-up care, reducing the risk of disruptions in their treatment plans.
- Cost efficiency: Tele-hospitalist coverage offers a cost-effective solution for small hospitals that face challenges in maintaining a full team of in-house hospitalists. By providing access to remote specialists as needed, tele-hospitalist coverage eliminates the need for hiring additional staff.
- Reduced patient transfers: Tele-hospitalist coverage can help to reduce the number of patient transfers to larger medical centers. This saves patients and their families from the burden of travel and allows them to remain in their familiar community.
- Enhanced quality of care: Access to tele-hospitalist services ensures that patients in small hospitals receive specialized expertise and guidance in managing complex cases. This leads to improved patient outcomes, reduced medical errors, and increased overall quality of care.
- Support for on-site providers: Tele-hospitalist coverage provides support to on-site providers, such as nurses and physician assistants, by offering consultations, guidance, and assistance in decision-making. This collaboration enhances the capabilities of the local healthcare team and promotes shared knowledge and expertise.
- Improved provider satisfaction: Tele-hospitalist coverage can alleviate the workload and burden on local providers, allowing them to focus on their areas of expertise. This can lead to increased provider satisfaction and reduced burnout.
