In the rapidly emerging Micro-hospital market, PulseCheck has established itself as a leader in providing efficient and comprehensive Electronic Health Record (EHR) solutions. With a patented EDIS, PulseCheck services are designed specifically for the Micro-hospital environment. We’ve seen a rise in micro-hospitals opening in Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, and Texas. Micro-hospitals establish themselves in desirable markets that do not meet the demand of surrounding health systems. They have similar capabilities and equipment as a major hospital but offer a more personal patient experience.
What are Micro-hospitals?
Micro-hospitals are small-scale inpatient facilities, typically open 24/7. Usually, around 15,000 to 50,000 square feet but can be more extensive, with about 5-10 inpatient beds. While they can perform a multitude of services in urban, suburban, and rural areas, most are within a 20-mile radius of a major health system.
What services are offered at micro-hospitals?
Micro-hospitals provide a large variety of hospital services, including but not limited to emergency medical care, imaging, inpatient care, laboratories/lab services, pharmacy services, radiology, surgery, and more.
What are the advantages Micro-hospitals offer?
Cost, accommodation, and location are three of the main benefits micro-hospitals offer. Compared to large health care systems, micro-hospitals can be 90% more affordable to construct, staff, and operate. Because of population density or other factors, the setup allows providers to deliver services in locations that could never sustain a full-size hospital. Micro-hospitals also offer communities a much more robust suite of medical services than you find in a typical urgent-care clinic or outpatient facility. However, the smaller footprint makes them feel much more intimate and calm for patients than a standard full-size hospital. It makes daily workflow more efficient for physicians, nurses, and care providers.
