Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Tele-Hospitalist?
A Tele-Hospitalist is a board-certified hospital medicine physician providing care remotely through a secure, HIPAA-compliant telemedicine platform. Tele-Hospitalists are responsible for specialized tasks, such as managing admissions, inpatient care, handling acute clinical issues, and care coordination. They work closely with onsite nursing staff and care teams to deliver their roles as tele-hospitalists.
How does Tele-Hospitalist coverage work?
Tele-Hospitalist coverage integrates directly into your hospital’s existing workflows. Our physicians use secure audiovisual technology to connect with and communicate with onsite nurses and staff in real time. They document everything in your facility’s electronic medical records to ensure the smooth, timely delivery of inpatient care.
Which facilities can benefit from Tele-Hospitalist services?
Tele-Hospitalist services benefit all facilities, regardless of size, depending on the coverage model, whether for additional physician support, tele-cross coverage, or integration with Tele-Nocturnist services. This model is especially beneficial for rural hospitals and Critical Access Hospitals (CAHs) that require consistent inpatient physician coverage, as well as hospitals with lower inpatient census, staffing shortages, or challenges recruiting and retaining onsite hospitalists.
Can Tele-Hospitalists handle nighttime and cross-coverage?
Yes. Tele-Hospitalists can provide overnight coverage and cross-coverage for onsite providers. Their responsibilities include managing admissions, responding to critical patient issues, providing urgent consultations, and supporting nursing staff during off-hours when onsite physician coverage may be limited.
What technology is required at our hospital?
Frontline Telemedicine provides the telemedicine cart and handles the setup and configuration at your facility. Hospitals need a reliable internet connection to support secure, HIPAA-compliant audio-visual communication. Our team works closely with your staff to ensure a smooth and efficient implementation.
