PHS Corporate Partners
Standing out by standing together.
Innovation and vision are keys to our business. We understand that we must foresee change and use it to our advantage. That's why we actively engage and collaborate with our corporate partners to help meet their business goals, while elevating the quality of care to seniors.
Today, healthcare providers must contend with unprecedented challenges and a variety of factors confronting care for the elderly. Unsustainable operation costs and pressure from expanding regulatory and compliance are converging with an ever increasing senior population, demand for services that outstrip capacity and a systemic shortage of qualified HCPs.
In light of all of this, we continue to be optimistic about the future. Embedding a PHS nurse practitioner in a care facility allows us to actively engage and collaborate with our corporate partners, and help them achieve their goals every day.
Dedicated PHS Care Providers Can Help Communities Meet Their Goals in Several Important Ways
Quality of Care
Studies, as well as our experience, have shown that PHS Care Providers can improve quality by working with the community staff to deliver the right care, at the right time, in the right setting.
Business Enhancement
Assisting the community in caring for more clinically complex residents makes the community more attractive to hospitals and health plans. Working closely with area hospitals also assures continuity of care and improves the working relationship between the long-term care provider and the acute care communities.
Market Differentiation
Dedicated, full-time Provider staff can make a community stand out in the market. We encourage the community to communicate the presence of their PHS Providers to hospital discharge planners, hospitalists, health plan case managers, prospective residents and families.
Satisfaction
Involved Providers can help to increase the satisfaction of residents and families, as well as the community staff
Continuing Medical Education (CME)
