Extensor Health offers 24x7 specialist physician coverage through telemedicine for rural community hospitals. Our turnkey solution is designed to integrate seamlessly into your hospital so that your medical staff can utilize the service with confidence and with ease. One phone call to Extensor Health is all that is required to access a specialist physician within minutes.
Extensor Health notifies the requested specialist and a two-way telemedical link is established within minutes between the physician and patient.
Many hospitals have outpatient clinics that are staffed by specialist physicians from nearby cities on a monthly or slightly more frequent basis. Extensor Health's program is not meant to replace the coverage that these hospitals already enjoy. The goal of our telemedicine program is to extend access beyond the clinic so that specialist expertise is available 24x7 within the hospital. Patient admissions can be increased by:
- Admitting patients that previously required transfer to other facilities to obtain the expertise of a specialist.
- Attracting new patients through distinction from nearby facilities by offering additional services.
- Encouraging local physicians to admit more patients by providing hospitalist support on nights and weekends.
By providing hospitals the ability to increase occupancy, Extensor Health enables these facilities to generate additional revenue and improve profitability.
