Partnering with Intermountain Telehealth
We strive to help our partners improve access to care, lower costs, retain revenue and improve patient experience. Some of the ways we’ve been able to help our partners include:
- Improved speed-to-treatment
- Keeping higher-acuity patients close to home
- Decreasing length of stay
- Reducing mortality rates
Intermountain Health partners gain access to our internationally recognized care process models, build collaborative relationships with and learn from best-in-class specialists, and gain the benefits of partnering with a large healthcare system while maintaining independence.
Partners also receive consultations from Intermountain Health Clinical Coordination teams, including intensivists and hospitalists. This team will consult with the onsite clinicians to determine if we can treat the patient at your facility, or if a transfer is needed. If the patient needs to be transferred, our team will help the onsite team optimize the patient for safe transport and coordinate the transfer process for your team with the other Intermountain Health support services, including transfer center, patient placement, and medical transport.
Our goals
Learn more about our goals to help providers and their patients
Intermountain Telehealth supports keeping patients closer to home by bringing specialty services to communities that a patient would otherwise have to travel from to receive specialty care. In turn, Telehealth assists in keeping revenues in local community facilities.
Intermountain Health is internationally recognized for its care process models. Partnering with Intermountain Health brings Intermountain’s experience and best practice models to administrators, providers and caregivers at your facility.
Partnership in the delivery of care is essential to the success of telehealth. A specialist on the screen must have knowledgeable clinical staff onsite to deliver care. Our team works to build confidence with your team and to create and maintain relationships with your team. We want to be a true extension of your team.
Collaboration with Intermountain’s specialists inherently becomes a training ground for higher-level of care in your facility. Our specialists share what they know, walk your caregivers through recommended treatments, and ultimately help them feel confident in keeping higher-acuity patients in your facility – closer to home.
Intermountain has seen telehealth patients have outcomes equal to that of a patient receiving in-person care at one of our facilities. This is done through partnered implementation of and adherence to Intermountain’s best practice standards of care.
Telehealth technology expands the reach of an Intermountain specialist to multiple facilities where on-site caregivers are able to deliver in-person care with the oversight and experience of a specialty trained provider. Rethinking care in this way allows patients to stay closer to home, local facilities to provide a higher-level of care, and revenues to stay at the local facility.
