Telehospitalist Services for Hospitals & Health Care Systems

Remote Hospitalist Coverage for Inpatient Care

American TelePhysicians offers telehospitalist services to hospitals, clinics, and health systems all over the United States. Our virtual hospitalist services fill daytime gaps and overnight shifts. This ensures your patients receive consistent inpatient care, even if you can’t cover every schedule.

The Inpatient Coverage Challenge

Hospital medicine is one of the hardest areas to staff. If you run a hospital, you probably recognize some of this:

  • Open hospitalist shifts, especially nights and weekends
  • Overloaded on-site hospitalists handling too many admissions and calls
  • Reliance on short-term locums that costs more and disrupts continuity
  • Rural and community hospitals struggling to recruit at all
  • Patients sent elsewhere because no one is available to manage them

Benefits of a Telehospitalist Program

Consistent coverage, around the clock

A telehospitalist program fills the gaps that lead to delays and burnout, including overnight and weekend shifts.

Less strain on your on-site team

Your hospitalists get help with volume, so they can spend more time with the patients who need them most.

Better continuity of care

A steady group of credentialed physicians works with your nurses and staff, instead of a constant rotation of new faces.

Fewer complications and readmissions

Consistent inpatient care and virtual follow-up after discharge help patients stay on track and reduce the chance of a return visit.

Access to expertise in underserved areas

Rural and smaller hospitals get experienced hospitalists regardless of geography.

Flexible cost structure

You can scale coverage up or down without the overhead of extra on-site infrastructure.
