Telemedicine for Skilled Nursing Facilities
After-hours and specialist virtual care for SNFs
AI-Enhanced Virtual Care for SNFs
Reduce Hospital Readmissions and Improve Patient Outcomes
CureCompanion’s AI-powered telemedicine solution lets SNFs bridge gaps in physician coverage that result in costly hospital readmissions.
Our technology lets providers perform medical assessments virtually, with the power of AI on their side. We help SNFs ensure patients are getting the care they need, resulting in fewer readmissions, better patient outcomes, and lower costs.
The SNF Readmission Challenge
Reduce Readmissions with Telemedicine
Enable virtual care with your own doctors
Hospital readmissions for patients at skilled nursing facilities (SNFs) are associated with adverse patient outcomes and reduced quality of life. Moreover, readmissions are very costly for SNFs because not only do they lose revenue when the patient leaves their facility, they are also penalized by CMS if their readmission rate is too high.
CureCompanion’s SNF telemedicine technology allows physicians to perform detailed medical exams virtually and make better judgments on whether the patient needs to be admitted to the hospital.
Research has shown that consistent use of telemedicine improves readmission rates at SNFs. It is more important than ever for SNFs to leverage the power of telemedicine to improve quality of care for their patients and reduce strain on their medical staff.
Enable Specialist Care, Virtually
Allow patients to access specialists without needing to travel
Specialist physicians generally do not visit skilled nursing facilities, so if a patient needs specialist care, they must be transported to and from the specialist. For SNF patients, this can be a cumbersome and stressful event, so most patients forgo specialist care while at the SNF.
With CureCompanion’s SNF telemedicine technology, patients can gain access to the specialist care they need virtually, without having to leave the facility.
How It Works
1. Secure Video Calling
The nurse calls the on-call provider using our software platform. The provider sees and talks to the patient using their own iOS/Android mobile device, laptop, or PC.
2. Virtual Examination
The provider examines the patient's skin, eyes, ears, and throat virtually using medical-grade HD cameras.
3. Real-time Auscultation
The provider listens to the patient's heart and lung sounds virtually in real-time.
4. Vitals and Diagnostics
The nurse records the patient's vitals wirelessly using our Bluetooth medical devices. The provider reviews them before/while talking to the patient. Vitals are automatically synced to PointClickCare.
5. Patient Records
The provider reviews symptoms and past medical history retrieved from PointClickCare or entered by the nurse.
