Post-Acute Care Services
Sound Physicians is dedicated to improving transitions of care through our high-presence Post-Acute Care Services model that brings more effective communication and higher quality of care to the communities we serve. Physician availability to residents, families and facility staff is at the core of the high-presence model. With physicians who are regularly scheduled to be on-site, nursing facility staff are assured that the appropriate level of care is provided to residents in a timely manner. Our physicians are skilled at managing complex medical conditions in a variety of settings including skilled nursing, long-term care and assisted living facilities.
The key benefits of a high-presence physician model include:
- Access to skilled physicians on regular schedule for staff, residents and families
- Coordination between Sound’s post-acute care physicians, hospitalists and community providers
- Proactive schedule for resident assessments and follow-up
- On-site wound care and preventative care training for staff
- Comprehensive medical record documentation to accurately reflect residents’ acuity
- Reduction in unwarranted hospital readmissions
Sound’s model for post-acute care services addresses the need for higher quality in the post-acute care environment.
