Hospitals

We work with hospitals on the pieces where a specialist firm is more efficient than internal capacity: outpatient rehabilitation service lines, emergency preparedness documentation, biomedical equipment inspection programs, and payer contracting for specific service lines.

What regulates you

• Medicare conditions of participation for hospitals under 42 CFR Part 482, including the emergency preparedness condition
• Texas hospital licensure requirements
• Accreditation standards where you hold deemed status
• Service-line specific conditions for outpatient rehabilitation and ancillary services

What we do for you

• Outpatient rehabilitation service line development, structure and compliance
• Emergency preparedness program review, exercise design and evidence documentation
• Mock surveys focused on specific service lines rather than the whole institution
• Biomedical equipment inspection and calibration programs through our affiliate
• Payer contracting and rate analysis for defined service lines
• Policy development for outpatient and rehabilitation services
• Staff education and in-service programs

Frequently asked questions

Do you do full hospital survey preparation?

Our work with hospitals is generally service-line focused rather than institution-wide. Where a full institutional survey is the need, we will say so and scope accordingly.

Can you help us stand up a hospital-based outpatient therapy program?

Yes. Provider-based rules, supervision requirements and billing structure all need to be decided together, and the structure decision drives reimbursement for years.

What does your emergency preparedness work add if we already have a plan?

Usually the evidence layer. Hospitals generally have plans; findings tend to arise around training documentation, exercise after-action records and the currency of the communication plan.
