Extended, Post-Acute Care is Helping Patients Recover More Often and Reducing Readmissions for Hospitals

When the highest quality patient care is given, hospitals, payers, and patients win. Patients regain a higher quality of life and independence, while hospitals and payers reduce the chance of readmission, avoid troublesome transfers, and discharge patients earlier.

The ICU-level care we provide for patients can help an STACH discharge patients earlier without fear of readmissions. By shortening the average length of stay, an STACH avoids 30-day readmission penalties, opens up more beds, and treats DRGs in a more consistent, effective way.

At AMG Specialty Hospital – Houma, we partner with hospitals and payers to provide first-rate care so that patients recover quickly and more permanently.

The Most Efficient Path to Healing

As a part of a Top-5 Post-Acute Care Hospital System, our critical illness recovery hospital (also known as a Long-Term Acute Care Hospital) is known to provide better extended term, post-acute care. That’s because our goal as a healthcare provider is to help patients travel the straightest road possible between their illness and their recovery.

At AMG Specialty Hospital – Houma, our ability to provide intense rehabilitation, appropriate nurse-to-patient ratios, ventilator care, vasoactive medication, aggressive wound therapy, and access to specialists translates to fewer readmissions and a better, more efficient recovery for patients.

Our ventilator wean rate surpasses the national average, and stands as another example of how our patients move forward through their recoveries, without unnecessary delays.

With AMG Specialty Hospital – Houma, your patients can move forward in their journey toward recovery.
