OHA announces new Preferred Partner Network company, Medtel.com, Inc.
Posted on: 3/7/18
The Medtel.com platform transforms surgical care using mobile, cloud-based technology to connect the surgical offices to the hospital, and provide the earliest opportunity to identify the risk of a procedure through automated, transparent communication. Utilizing a modular approach to deliver trends and analysis, the platform helps hospitals reduce risks and improve cost of care in the surgical care process.
Medtel has effectively helped platform users improve the following metrics:
- Day-of surgery cancellations (one client went from 10 percent down to 1 percent).
- ALOS and discharge to home (one client dropped ALOS by 1.3 days and discharge to home decreased 63 percent).
- Readmission rates (one client decreased readmits from 17 percent to 8 percent).
- Overall cost of care (one client decreased their per 90-day episode cost by $10,000 per patient per episode for ortho patients).
