TapestryCare™ is Changing the Telemedicine Model

Launched over a year ago, Tapestry Telehealth’s innovative new telemedicine model is quickly taking hold and now operates in dozens of facilities across states like Arkansas, Florida, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Tennessee.

People want to know what sets TapestryCare™ apart. Telemedicine isn’t new. But Tapestry Telehealth’s model is.

Most telemedicine programs offer only silos of care --- for wound care or psychiatry, for example. Or, they offer only “urgent care” or after-hours coverage models, focusing on one-off encounters rather than a continuous true primary care relationship. But TapestryCare™ gives you a comprehensive medical team and a dedicated nurse practitioner (NP) supported by a full-scope multi-specialty medical and behavioral health group.

Here are some of the benefits:

  • Avoid Hospitalizations: Having daily virtual access to an on-site medical team helps to avoid unnecessary hospitalizations when medical conditions change.

  • Reduce Transport: The need for long, costly and uncomfortable trips outside the facilities for basic evaluations or specialty consults decreases.

  • Increase Access to Care: No more delays waiting for physician callbacks or open appointments with specialists. Care is delivered at the bedside, quickly.

  • Improve Medical Outcomes: Dedicated practitioners get to know the patients as well as the staff. Consistency of care improves health outcomes.

  • Raise Ratings: Long-term care regulations change constantly. TapestryCare™ helps you improve and maintain CMS quality and rating measures.

  • Boost Medicaid Rates: Get credit for all the care you deliver. TapestryCare™ increases care and documentation which can drive up CMI and reimbursement.

Services are robust. With TapestryCare™, our primary care team, including the NP, integrates with your attending physicians. Specialty services include wound care, cardiology, dermatology, endocrinology, gastroenterology, infectious disease, neurology, pain control, palliative care, pulmonology, renal-nephrology and physiatry. Patients have access to daily behavioral services, including both scheduled and 24/7 emergency mental health care and family communication and support.
