Spectrum Healthcare Solutions

Spectrum Healthcare Solutions is a physician-led post-acute care network based in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Its work centres on the transition of patients from acute-care hospitals to skilled nursing and assisted-living facilities, with the stated aim of reducing avoidable readmissions and returning patients safely home. The organisation operates in Oklahoma and serves facilities across the state.

The network's care model is built around multidisciplinary teams comprising physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, nurse liaisons and in-house specialists. Nurse practitioners and physician assistants round on patients daily; physicians with acute-care hospital experience provide oversight weekly. In-house specialty consultation covers cardiology, infectious disease, nephrology, endocrinology and mental health. Regular patient assessments, prompt interventions and monthly staff education are used to identify and address concerns specific to individual facilities.

Facilities served by Spectrum Healthcare Solutions record an average rate of return to acute care of 11%, against a stated national figure of 22.9% and an Oklahoma figure of 25.2%. The company describes itself as data-driven in its approach to care improvement, combining clinical oversight, specialty input and staff training to manage patient transitions.
