For Facilities
Coordinating Patient Flow and Care Management
Although the care environments and patient types may be different, both hospitals and skilled nursing care facilities can derive value from API's service delivery model. The benefits include improved clinical outcomes as well as improved financial performance, as a result of:
 | Decreased clinical variation |
| Appropriate utilization of costly healthcare resources |
| Shorter lengths of stay |
| Increased through-put |
| Lower costs per admission |
| Unassigned patients receive prompt, appropriate care |
Hospital Services
API hires board-certified/board-eligible internists after a comprehensive interviewing process, evaluating not only their clinical abilities but also their communication and interpersonal skills. For a hospital, that equals consistency of care as well as a physician who understands the individual workings of your facility. API staffs every hospital 24 hours a day, seven days a week with an in-house physician.
The benefits:
| Decreased cost of care per case |
| Reduced lengths of stay |
| Reduced inappropriate admits from the ER |
| Equal or better patient satisfaction |
|
Subacute Services
Tailored to the Needs of Skilled Nursing Care
Skilled nursing facilities, like hospitals, have a host of unique healthcare issues to manage. API physicians have specific expertise and experience in caring for patients in these facilities, making them the ideal practitioners to coordinate their care. The subacute skilled nursing care facilities are staffed with access to a physician five days a week, while providing on-call coverage around the clock.
API's service delivery model design:
| Provides comprehensive healthcare to patients while they are recovering |
| Enhances the access to and timely intervention by our physicians |
| Facilitates a transition to the patient's primary care physician upon discharge |
