6 Benefits Telemedicine Provides Smaller Hospital Medicine Programs

Telehospitalist careers help reduce burnout, enhance work-life balance, and increase provider retention. With younger physicians more reluctant to work overnight shifts, this proves to be a real advantage.

Telehospitalists provide backup for surges and support, better utilization of resources, and improved coverage models that balance demand and capacity.

Round-the-clock provider access for admissions, discharges, and quality audits help reduce LOS with expedited admission times, timely patient discharges, and improved care quality.

Immediate access to a hospitalist and the ability to remain in the community for care improves patient satisfaction.

Distribution of provider services to locations with the highest need allows patients to be cared for locally versus being transferred to a distant facility, delivering positive community impact.
