Unlike a traditional nursing home where a medical provider is onsite 1-2 times a week, SCHC provides a combination of MDs and NPs daily. Our track schedule will give you seven days a week of onsite coverage.
NPs can physically assess the patient's needs within 24 hours of admission. Patient visits are based on a RISK model, thus making SCHC the experts in proactive medicine and helping you identify the sickest patients who will need the most support while supporting your low-risk patients to return home.
Our goal is to prevent hospital readmissions, be proactive with patient care, and identify symptoms before resulting in emergency medical care outside the facility. This unique RISK model allows SCHC to anticipate a patient's potential decline before the event occurs, saving thousands of dollars in hospitalizations, facility-hospital solid relationships, and exceptional patient outcomes.
