Understanding How Overnight Telehealth Hospitalists are Improving Satisfaction and Generating Revenue in Critical Access Hospitals
Presentation by: Horizon Virtual TeleHealth Services (WHA Corporate Member)
Hospitals across the nation are experiencing the financial pressures of the COVID-19 pandemic. Since 2010, at least 128 rural hospitals have closed, with at least an additional 450 (21% of rural hospitals) found to be financially unstable. In total, more than 21,500 beds are in jeopardy. Our current medical and financial situation in health care has not helped this worsening state of affairs. Darin Willardsen, M.D. will share with you how TeleHealth Hospitalists are admitting, consulting and cross-covering patients in remote hospitals across the region. This service is helping to seamlessly care for patients in remote locations during the overnight hours with board certified Internal Medicine Hospitalists. The result of this service has shown lower patient transfer rates, increased patient satisfaction as well as an increase in nursing and provider satisfaction. Many of the institutions that have utilized Horizon Virtual have also shown a positive return on investment with the service.
