Thinking about telehealth as a site of care is a philosophical consideration for those looking to sustain success with the care model.

The exposed information included patients’ full name, date of birth, contact information, and admission and discharge dates.

Those linked to health systems were 99% less likely to receive penalties and 29% more likely to receive performance bonuses.

The new name and branding strategy are meant to evoke the regular rising and falling of the tides, suggesting dependability.

This has bottom-line impacts for hospitals, especially as they look to recover financially from the worst of the pandemic.

Only 54% of Medicare patients referred to home healthcare services following a hospitalization received home healthcare visits.

Patients can find information about doctors, hospitals and nursing homes without searching through multiple tools.

Allowing families and caregivers to connect with their loved ones while maintaining distance has been a top safety priority for the system.

Total Medicare spending on acute care inpatient hospital services will increase by about $3.5 billion in FY 2021.
