"The General Medicine clinicians will be supported by the staff of the nursing facilities and our own care coordinators. The ultimate goal of the Integrated Care Program is to improve care coordination via a person-centered, team-oriented delivery system which addresses individual needs.”

Benefits of Using General Medicine’s Post-Hospitalist/SNFist Program

  • Assist facilities with census – referrals of new patients.
  • Simplify the process of transitioning patients between inpatient hospitals, post-acute facilities and homebound settings.
  • Improve resident health outcomes.
  • Frequency of visits and the high visibility of our clinicians provides confidence that patients’ medical needs are addressed immediately.
  • Effectively reduce the frequency of avoidable hospital admissions and readmissions.  As a result, hospital readmit rates are reduced, and hospital confidence is increased with the ability to care for their post-acute patients.
  • Reducing unnecessary ER usage.
  • Keeping the patient at the level of care that is least costly and risky.
  • Eliminating unnecessary health care expenditures via effective management of chronic disease states.

 

 

Exclusive focus of General Medicine’s Post-Hospitalist Medicine Practice sets us apart from other traditional post-acute practice models.
