Kindred Healthcare Improves Care Access with a Digitized Front Door
Summary
“Referral Manager has greatly enabled our LTAC facilities to move more quickly and with confidence in getting care to those patients referred to us,” said Kindred Hospital Division Senior Vice President and Chief Clinical Officer Heather Crawford. Used on its own or integrated into an existing electronic health record (EHR), it streamlines acceptance and rejections, which allows providers to handle referrals more quickly, in about half the time, and with fewer resources. “The insight our staff receives through this technology sets us up for long-term success,” said Kindred Hospital Division Senior Vice President and CFO Garret Jackson. With Referral Manager successfully launched to all its LTAC hospitals, Kindred is now focused on a plan to implement the solution to its inpatient rehabilitation facilities to help smooth patient transitions.
