- 30. Another showed even greater results. McKnights “We have seen a reduction in our return to hospital rates, retained 75% of the patients who had a sudden acute change in condition (resulting in over 500 retained patient days), and helped contribute to millions in healthcare savings by eliminating avoidable hospital admissions.” -10 months after implementing a telemedicine solution.
- 31. What that means for your facility’s cost savings. CMS Innovations Award. RAVEN. Dr. Steven Handler at UPMC Facility Cost Each Potentially Avoidable Hospitalization: • 6.1 Average Hospital Length of Stay • Loss of 6 days of SNF revenue (“head in bed”) • Average RUGs payment of $380 per day Medicare Part A • Lost Resident Revenue $380 x 6.1 days = $2318 • Labs / Nursing Readmission Cost = $ 200 Average SNF Loss Per Hospitalization $2518

- 39. 1 2 43 5 The physician helps the nurse determine if a hospital transfer is necessary. If not, the physician helps to establish a treatment & monitoring plan.
- 40. 1 2 43 5 Medical visit notes are added to the resident’s record to provide clear communication.
- 41. 1 2 43 5 If the physician feels that a hospitalization is necessary, they will call ahead to the designated ED to help facilitate the hospital visit. *

- Remember the ranking system for repayment?
- Nursing homes must rely more and more on Medicare reimbursement which is being held and reduced based on 5-star ratings while losing higher-rate payers. https://www.agingcare.com/questions/nursing-home-discriminate-because-of-pay-152961.htm
- We need to look at why hospital readmissions are happening…

- Not meant to replace primary physician, but helps to extend the level of service a physician provides by being available for calls anytime of the day or night. This could be when the primary doctor is not in the location, especially during after-hours. In addition, the nature of telemedicine being techologically advanced and all online allows all patient records and updates to be easily added to a resident’s record so the primary doctor can review when he is on site for follow ups to any medical conditions that occurred. Nurses are happy because they’re able to have more support in the strategy of keeping a resident in-home. Often when a doctor is unavailable, the only option is to send a resident to the hospital because they lack the skill and qualification to diagnose. Now they have a doctor who can do those things in their pocket.
- Telemedicine can help with all of these: Bolsters their staff numbers by providing extra care availability Gives the home access to top-notch emergency medicine physicians from the Raleigh-area Prevents the longer transports to hospitals saving time to access care for residents. Also- helps the community by keeping limited EMS services available for true emergencies. Helps keep Medicaid penalties lower with better care
- Telemedicine can help with all of the above. So how would a telemedicine service work within a nursing home?
