ADVANCED PRACTITIONER PROGRAM
Most medical conditions are episodic in nature. This makes it nearly impossible for the attending physician to be present at the earliest onset of a medical episode. As a result, minor ailments can progress into more serious conditions.
MPAC Healthcare’s Advanced Practitioner Program is bridging this gap by providing timely healthcare with on-site Nurse Practitioners who will be at the facility and available for 12 hours every day including weekends. Data has shown that our company has reduced hospital readmission rates by 25-50% within the first 60-90 days.
Our onsite Nurse Practitioners will assess and treat any changes in condition in residents and will collaborate with the patients attending physician. They will also conduct lab review, provide RX, and other in-services to facility staff.
MPAC practitioners provide a high level of coordination that complements the work of the attending physician.
