Podcast:Becker’s Healthcare Podcast Published On: Wed Apr 10 2024 Description: As patient acuity and hospital capacity issues rise, specialty facilities like long-term acute care hospitals are playing a crucial role in managing risks and costs. In this session, you'll hear how Louisville, Ky.-based ScionHealth is doing just that with its specialty hospitals, including Kindred Hospitals, Cornerstone Specialty Hospitals and Solara Specialty Hospitals. These facilities do not solely cater to ventilator patients exceeding 25 days of stay; they also provide advanced care for patients with a wide range of complex conditions prone to readmission and can do so in less than 25 days. During our session, you will gain insights into how these specialized sites of care are reducing length of stay and improving outcomes for complex patients, making them important strategic partners in maximizing quality and cost-effectiveness.This episode is sponsored by ScionHealth.
