Partnering with an expert
In an evolving healthcare industry, a successful and experienced post-acute partner is paramount to providing high-quality, cost-effective care. With over 35 years of post-acute experience, we know post-acute care; it’s what we do. If you are considering options for post-acute care or participating in the healthcare reform models, we can evaluate your current inpatient rehabilitation unit or hospital, and provide feedback on potential partnership opportunities we see for growth or improvement in your market.

In the 32 years Hardin Memorial Health and Encompass Health Rehabilitation Hospital of Lakeview have worked together to care for patients, they have built strong bonds to promote health in the community and state. The collaboration of acute care hospitals working to get patients to the right post-acute setting at the right time plays a vital role in reducing the cost of care in the long term---helping to avoid unnecessary emergency room visits, reducing hospital readmission rates and providing a better quality of life for patients in their home and community. While the general acute care hospital often has the task of ensuring the patient’s medical status is stable, post-acute providers often are the next step in helping the patient regain function to be able to return to their home and community.

Partnering with Encompass Health has been an exemplary model of best practice for our Health Care organization and community. Not only do we rely and trust the clinicians at Encompass with the care of our patients, we also trust them with the co-education and development of our acute care staff. Our relationship goes well beyond a simple hand-off of patient care. It also integrates clinical knowledge, communication and advanced technology that maximizes the outcomes and satisfaction of our patients as well as our Providers. We could not have achieved our system level of success without them!
