During a skilled nursing stay, the patient is provided with intensive rehabilitation services to assist them in regaining strength and function. Discharge plans from the skilled nursing facility often hinge on the progress the patient makes. To ensure the patient is provided with the best opportunity to maximize their rehabilitation, Alegent Health has established a Nursing Home Network.

The Alegent Health Nursing Home Network focus is to promote quality and function for the patient, as well as, support the family and skilled nursing staff.

Network Outcomes

• Network patients have demonstrated the following outcomes
• Better pain control
• Lowered re-hospitalization rates
• Fewer emergency room visits
• A reduction in scheduled medications
• Decreased depression scores

The Network Team Provides

• Highly skilled nurse practitioners available 24/7 who make regular visits to each of the member facilities. Our nurse practitioners work directly with each patient and family to develop, coordinate and execute a specific plan of care.
• Coordinated care during the transition from the hospital to the skilled care facility and back home.
• Assistance with long-term care arrangements.
• Explanation of resources available in the community.
• Physicians who serve on an advisory board and provide back-up coverage to the nurse practitioners.
• Social worker support for guidance in care options with a focus on quality and function for the patient.

Accessing the Network

Services can be accessed through the hospital discharge planners, nursing home admission coordinators and/or the patient's primary care provider. Patients and families can also contact the Network team at 402-898-8380. Participation is completely voluntary and services begin as soon as the Network team is contacted.
