Managed Care

Compared to other care providers, Kindred Hospitals reduce the cost, trauma and risk of short-term hospital re-admission by being staffed and equipped to rapidly respond to changes in medical condition. This makes Kindred a premier provider of high quality, cost-effective healthcare.

The Value Of Post-acute Care

The American Hospital Association developed a report that discusses the value of post-acute care in the healthcare continuum and explores how post-acute care providers can serve as important partners – both for acute-care hospitals and for one another – in improving quality and reducing costs over an episode of care. According to the report, partnerships across settings not only benefit patients transitioning to a post-acute site, but can also benefit general acute-care hospitals referring to and receiving referrals from post-acute care. As a provider of post-acute care services, Kindred Healthcare is well positioned to work with other healthcare services providers. As highlighted on page 5 of the report, Kindred is pursuing relationships with certain acute-care hospitals, physician specialty groups and other partners in a variety of locations.
