Lost Rivers Medical Center is participating in the Caravan Health ACO, an Accountable Care Organization (ACO). An ACO is a group of doctors, hospitals, and/or other health care providers that work together to improve the quality and experience of care you receive. ACOs receive a portion of any savings that results from reducing costs and meeting quality requirements.

  • Medicare evaluates how well each ACO meets these goals every year. Those ACOs that do a good job care earn a financial bonus. ACOs that earn a bonus may use the payment to invest more in your care or share a portion directly with providers. ACOs may owe a penalty if their care increases costs.
  • Our participation in an Accountable Care Organization does not limit your choice of health care providers. Your Medicare benefits are not changing. You still have the right to visit any doctor, hospital, or other provider that accepts Medicare at any time, just like you do not.
  • For more information on ACOs and how they work, please check out our annual ACO notice.

Social Services

Illnesses and hospitalizations can be stressful, daunting and overwhelming. Our social service department at Lost Rivers Medical Center is here to help you with those stresses. Our social services department works closely with your healthcare team and can offer you resources and guidance to help assist you and your family during this already difficult time.

Rehabilitation (Swing Bed) Care

To serve the needs of smaller communities, Medicare has established coverage for “Swing Bed” programs. Swing Bed is a term that Medicare uses to describe a hospital room that can switch from acute care status to skilled care status. The Swing Bed program can help patients prepare for a safe and sustainable return home.  

Lost Rivers Medical Center offers a Medicare Swing Bed Program. The Swing Bed Program (also known as Rehab Care Program) provides skilled nursing care and rehabilitation services for patients who no longer need to be in an acute hospital setting, but are not ready to care for themselves at home or their next level of residence. This program also allows residents who have recently experienced an acute hospitalization or surgery to return to our comfortable facility close to home for nursing and rehabilitation for an extended period of time. This may include IV therapy as well as physical therapy. The length of stay in Swing Bed is dependent upon individual patient needs and progress. Swing Bed is not intended for permanent placement.  

Some private insurance plans cover Swing Bed services. 

TeleHealth

What is Telehealth?

Telehealth, also called virtual care, uses technology to connect a patient in one location with a health care provider in a separate location. During the Public Health Emergency patients can see providers from the comfort of their own home. Providers can monitor vital signs like heart rate, blood sugar and oxygen levels in real time. The result is a better quality of life, fewer trips to the emergency department, and patients living on their own at home much longer.

Services?

Clinic Consultations:  Patients connect remotely with their primary care provider or a specialist via two-way, audio/video and asynchronous communication. Current specialties include behavioral health, with more to come. The remote visit may also involve a primary care provider, or other health care providers such as Chronic Care Manager for diabetes prevention.

Home Monitoring:  Remote patient management uses devices to connect patients in the home with their Chronic Care Manager. The services we currently have for remote patient monitoring include Blood Pressure Cuffs, Scales for weight management and Blood Oximeters, with hopes to expand in the future.
