Essential Telemedicine Services Hospitals Need
American TelePhysicians, a leader in telehealth solutions, provides a comprehensive range of telemedicine services tailored to meet these needs.
Hospitalist Coverage
Hospitalist coverage ensures hospitals can deliver continuous care by filling staffing gaps, especially during nighttime hours or patient surges.
Night Coverage
​
With services from American TelePhysicians, hospitals can implement telemedicine-supported night coverage. For example, a 25-bed critical access hospital in rural Oregon successfully replaced its nocturnists with telehospitalists and onsite nursing staff, supported by a 24/7 telehealth system. The hospital maintained consistent admission rates while reducing strain on local staff.
Support for NPs and PAs
Telemedicine services from American TelePhysicians connect professionals with experienced hospitalists for consultation, treatment validation, and ongoing support via video, phone, or text. This ensures patients receive high-quality care while addressing physician shortages.
