Competitive Advantage Kemell Health
Kemell Health’s innovative infrastructure places our physicians and professional clinicians within skilled care facilities at no cost to those facilities.
If the skilled nursing facility has a medical provider on call 24/7 and at the site daily, nursing home staff are less likely to send a patient to the emergency room.
Having an on site Medical provider is associated with better operating margins. The observed positive relationship may be the result of lower costs and/or increased revenues.
The medical provider presence offers a potential solution to the operational problem(s) facing nursing homes by improving quality while reducing costs.cv
