Why Coastal Telehealth Specialists?
Coastal Telehealth Specialists is here to help rural hospitals get quick access to infectious disease specialty care. Not having access to specialty medicine can cause your patients longer hospital stays or unnecessary transfers to distant hospitals. By decreasing your patient’s hospital stay we can help your hospital decrease its antimicrobial cost.
We will provide Infectious Disease Specialty Care to your hospital without the expense of hiring an on-site Infectious Diease Specialist to your hospital. Our telespecialist team will provide your hospital with quick and efficient specialist consultations. Why transfer patients to another hospital when we can provide your patients with Infectious Disease services at their bedside?
Our Infectious Disease specialist will help your hospital improve and manage nosocomial infections. We believe that patients inside the hospital should not have extended stays from infections acquired inside hospital facilities. We use the principles of Antimicrobial Stewardship in all our consultations. We help decrease antimicrobial resistance and overall antimicrobial costs.
You no longer will have inappropriate antibiotic use, patients being transferred to distant hospitals for treatment, or improper management of drug resistant pathogens. Let us help you improve your patient care.
