Our ADS Program Addresses The Crucial Question
“Is this patient safe to be admitted at this facility, or do they require transfer to a higher level of care?”
This question often resides in a 'grey' area requiring a multidisciplinary approach to the clinical care plan.
How Does ADS Work?
Emergency rooms or hospitalists contact our specialists for consultation on specific diagnoses. We quickly assist in determining whether a patient can safely remain in their local facility or requires transfer.
Our consultants remain available to support until the patient's departure if a transfer is necessary.
Tailored Solutions
The ADS program is meticulously tailored to the individual needs of each client. It considers the support capabilities of both local and neighboring facilities. Intervention or procedure needs factored into the virtual triage consult. Equum providers are assigned to specific institutions, granting them a deep understanding of the facility's capabilities and culture.
Benefits of the ADS Program
The ADS Program serves as a vital success metric at multiple levels. High-quality specialized care delivered locally. Improved patient outcomes through timely and appropriate care. Financial benefits for local institutions by optimizing resource utilization.
