Establishing the appropriate care delivery path for patients after a stay in the ICU or med-surg unit is essential to achieving optimal outcomes. Without the right clinical capabilities and surrounding environment in which to recover, patients may experience delays or suffer medical setbacks that impede recovery. Furthermore, unnecessary discharge delays and avoidable readmissions can increase the total cost of care.
This whitepaper outlines the reasons why long-term acute care hospitals (LTACHs) are often the ideal treatment and recovery setting for medically complex and critically ill patients, and a cost-effective partner in healthcare networks:
LTACHs can provide efficient care for a growing medically complex population
Pulmonary expertise allows LTACHs to treat critical respiratory patients
Integrated rehab and acute care at LTACHs helps patients recover more quickly
The COVID-19 pandemic is transforming every industry, and healthcare is no exception. From telehealth to touchless check-ins and payments, keeping up with these changes is essential for providers to deliver safe, exceptional care.

When it comes to assessing the future of healthcare in the U.S., one thing is clear: there’s no shortage of forces driving change and disruption in this vital industry. Hospital executives confront multiple and often competing challenges:
Meet or Exceed Clinical Guidelines
Make Care More Accessible
Shift to Value-Based Care
Specialty Shortages
Aging Population
and more!
How can hospitals create and sustain a successful model that balances the natural tensions between financial performance and patient care? Increasingly, hospitals and health systems are turning to acute telemedicine for some of the answers.
Regulatory requirements, payment systems, and reimbursement models will continue to evolve. Studies predict that patient populations will continue to grow as the number of qualified new specialists shrinks. Large-scale crisis events, like the pandemic, will continue to challenge hospitals to find new and more effective ways to mobilize and coordinate a rapid response. And clinical advances will continue to raise the bar on how quickly and effectively physicians can save and improve lives.
Read this Guide to see how telemedicine is a powerful tool to help hospitals build the resilience and expertise they’ll need to meet the challenges of the coming decades.
