MileStone Healthcare can “insource” our services to your onsite staff. We provide our extensive resources to help you enhance your post acute program’s performance. MileStone Healthcare’s post acute consulting service focuses on each post acute program's challenge with specific recommendations for resolving these challenges. Additionally, the coordination of how patients are moved through the post acute continuum is reviewed for the provision of optimum care at the lowest cost to the hospital. Once MileStone's consulting team completes the on-site work, a report is prepared detailing the work with specific recommendations. Listed below are functions that will be reviewed in each post acute program.
