Saying

Hospital Executives: The Answer Is Here.

Hospitals are in flux. Non Profit centers are pressured, given the limitations of available funds. Rural facilities are suffering from regional closures promoting overflows of the non-insured seeking primary care. Urban commercially owned hospitals are recovering slowly but competing for well insured patients.

To further exasperate the issue there is an insufficient supply of Family and General Practitioners in the USA. That is a fact. That fact also causes overflow and underuse. Hospitals overflow with patients seeking non-critical care for chronic conditions. Congestion in all Hospitals leads to patient dissatisfaction and administrative chaos. Doctors are underused and are increasingly pressured to heal and care General Practice matters, wasting talent and opportunity found in surgical procedures, specialized and urgent care.

US Tele-Medicine is designed to receive Hospital overflow and low-revenue patients with chronic care management needs and medical care requirements. US Tele-Medicine is a "Family Practice" and General Practitioner group that performs the functions of a Family physician, allowing hospitals to function as they were intended.

Our E-Care is holistic and telemedicine modalities are quite effective in the continuous management of issues such as, blood pressure, diabetes, CHF, respiratory management, anxiety and much more. Please click on the "Resources" tab and select "Diagnosis" Page for a complete listing of conditions under our care.

Communications with the patient is done through Internet and telephone modalities.

With US Tele-Medicine, the patient is provided care when needed and when wanted, without enduring the travel, expense, waiting time and inconvenience of a hospital visit. The patient receives care in the calming, comfortable, safe and secure environment of their home or office.

A variety of easy-to-use wireless devices, allows us to monitor vital data remotely, providing real time diagnostic and management markers.

Our systems recognize the referring medial provider as the patient's primary physician. So in fact, you do not lose a patient, but you do lose the burden of chronic care management. That means greater emphasis on the more lucrative specialized, surgical and critical care functions, so essential to hospital management and survival.

For the near future, the USA will continue to be deficient in General Practitioners, as only 6% of medical school students are moving toward that type of care and almost none are moving to rural areas of America.

Telemedicine shortens and strengthens the interaction between patient and doctor, irrespective of how many miles away the patient might be. That means less high cost/low pay hospitals stays, consistent care, a more informed and involved patient and less costs to all concerned.

We urge you to refer your patients to us. Our EMR systems accommodate hundreds of thousands of files and integrate with worldwide protocols, so sharing of patient information is done with ease.

Our group enjoys network affiliation with most payers and Medicare.

Do join us. We welcome your free membership and allow us to introduce you to the benefits of operating your business, without the obstruction of patients whose need for care, is truly the job of a Family doctor and not a hospital.
