My patient may need Inpatient
Rehab. How can I tell?
If your patient is suffering from
any of the aforementioned conditions, the patient may be a good candidate for
inpatient Rehabilitation at United Medical Rehabilitation Hospital.
Here's the rule of thumb when considering Inpatient Rehabilitation.
a. Does this patient have a condition that causes physical limitations
and it is affecting their daily life?
b. Could their independence, functional status or mobility be potentially
improved in a setting focused on physical rehabilitation?
If the answer to one of these questions is yes, your patient may be
a good candidate. You can have your patient evaluated by our Nurse
Liaison to see if they meet criteria. In most cases, the evaluation
will be done within a few hours of the request. There is no charge
for this evaluation and you'll have an answer the same day.
I'd like for a Nurse Liaison
to evaluate my patient for Inpatient Rehabilitation at United
Medical Rehabilitation Hospital.
What do I need to do ?
If your patient is
in a Hospital or Nursing Facility, simply write orders to have the
patient evaluated by United Medical Rehabilitation Hospital for Inpatient
Rehab, i.e. a consult/eval order.
How will my patient's medical
conditions be managed while in Inpatient Rehabilitation ?
If you choose, you may apply for privileges
at United Medical Rehabilitation Hospital and make daily visits for the
medical management of your patient. If you prefer not to follow your
patient, a physician will be assigned to your patient while in the facility.
Upon discharge, a follow-up appointment can be made with you for continuity
of care.
