Patients Cared for Annually
Physicians & Advanced Care Practitioners
Patient-Centered Care
Our compassionate medical practitioners are dedicated to positive patient outcomes, guided by our analytically-based care model that uses real-time data.
Predictive Analytics Care Model
We follow a care model that is customized to determine a patient’s risk levels upon release to a post-acute care facility. Using predictive analytics tools, providers generate real-time data for care plan decision-making. If needed, mobile unit visits for high risk patients discharged during low staffing periods are available.
Experienced Providers
We attract the brightest minds in medicine, hiring only 10% of applicants. They are guided by our analytically-based care model to help positively impact clinical quality measures, patient satisfaction and transition of care.
Collaboration & Compassion
We place heavy emphasis on compassionate collaboration and open communication. Our providers focus on building close working relationships to ensure we’re meeting the needs of your patients and residents.
Reduced Readmissions
Our predictive analytic care model helps improve the transition of care, reduce costly readmissions and resulting penalties.
Medical Directors
Our board-certified clinicians follow evidence-based guidelines and protocols from the Society for Post-Acute and Long Term Care Medicine (AMDA) and the CDC clinical practice guidelines for long-term care settings.
On Call 24/7
The level of care our providers deliver to your residents naturally reduces call. This lowers the demand allowing our care teams to provide their own 24/7 on-call service to their buildings.
