Mountain States Health Alliance Hospitals Use SilverSearch for Patient Choice in Their Transitional Healthcare

Healthcare Increasing Case Manager Efficiency While Improving Patient Outcomes

PRNewswire  – October 29, 2015 – SilverVue®, a provider of hospital patient transitional healthcare and telemedicine technologies, announced today that it will partner with Mountain States Health Alliance to feature SilverSearch™ in its patient post-acute care transitions at Mountain States hospitals throughout Tennessee and Virginia.

Will West, SilverVue CEO, commented, “We are delighted to partner with Mountain States Health Alliance to give patients visibility and choice in selecting their post-acute care providers. ” He added, “Mountain States is clearly committed to quality care in all of their facilities, and SilverVue is committed to helping their patients make choices that allow for the best possible care after they leave the hospital.”

Designed by case managers for case managers, the SilverVue searchable tablet directory helps patients choose their transitional care by filtering their choice of care facilities nationally available. For example, patients may select specialized care services, enter a zip code to locate facilities within a desired radius of their home, and choose their preferred insurance provider. The real-time information empowers patients to make the preferred choices most suited to them.

According to the AHRQ, “Roughly 40 percent of Medicare beneficiaries are discharged to a post-acute setting.” Patients who find that they need continuum of care after a hospital stay must decide where to receive this care. It may range from a short-term stay at an SNF (skilled nursing facility), a rehabilitation center, or long-term recovery. Hospital case managers oversee the orchestration of care management by the clinicians and pharmacists involved with the patient’s care.
