Decrease Hospital Readmissions
With the additional expertise of a rehab physician, patients will receive the rehabilitative care plan they need to regain functional ability and thrive at home.
Skilled Nursing Facilities
The role of a physiatrist in a skilled nursing facility (SNF) is vital to overall patient care. Within post-acute care settings, including SNFs, these medical specialists enhance the short-term nursing and long-term rehabilitation care needed to improve patient quality of life and outcomes.
How We Help SNFs
At Medrina, we understand that every skilled nursing facility has unique needs. As part of our high-quality rehabilitative care, we'll make sure you are matched with the perfect physiatrist based on your specific needs. Here's how we help:
Diagnose and Develop Patient Care Plans
A physiatrist is a medical professional trained to focus on the overall functioning of a patient. Along with medical school, they go through four additional years of postdoctoral residency training. This education equips them with the skills needed to do everything from recommending therapy modalities and managing pain to prescribing medications. To ensure each patient receives the care they need, our physiatrists design tailor-made care plans.
Deliver Organized Treatments
A physiatrist provides organized treatments to improve a patient's care and physical functional capabilities. This holistic approach can include different specialties, ranging from prosthetics to occupational therapy. Treatments can focus on various goals, including enhancing mobility, restoring strength, and improving quality of life.
Collaborate With Specialized Professionals
A skilled nursing physician doesn't work alone. To deliver the most comprehensive care, they will collaborate with many different specialized professionals. This level of collaborative support ensures each patient can achieve the best health outcome.
