Care Coordination
As the healthcare focus changes from a “sick” care model to a population health model, primary care practices have new opportunities that are supported with Medicare reimbursement.
Survey Preparation
We provide mock surveys with one or two nurse surveyors to assess survey readiness with respect to regulatory standards including: Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), The Joint Commission (TJC), Det Norske Veritas (DNV), Healthcare Facilities Accreditation Program (HFAP) and State.
Clinical Quality and Performance Improvement
HealthTechS3’s Quality/Performance Improvement includes off-site review of your quality plan, quality initiatives and metrics.
Practice Assessment
HealthTechS3 offers a variety of consulting services related to provider clinics and employed physician practices. Many healthcare institutions have begun employing physicians or purchasing existing practices.
Swing Bed
Under Medicare, rural hospitals with 100 or fewer licensed beds are eligible to participate in the swing bed program. This program allows a bed to be used for either acute care, or post-acute patients, who have been discharged from a medically necessary, three-day minimum acute stay and require skilled nursing care. Swing bed hospitals include both critical access hospitals (CAHs) and those paid under the Prospective Payment System (PPS).
