Ask BeamAbout this service
What is a tele-hospitalist?
A tele-hospitalist is a hospital physician who supports inpatient care remotely. Beam hospitalists work with your onsite staff on rounding, admissions, cross-coverage and discharge planning.
More on Beam Solutions ↗Can Beam supplement our existing hospitalist team?
Yes. Coverage can supplement your current team or support a full-service program. Beam offers virtual coverage, onsite care and hybrid programs; the coverage is configured around your facility.
More on Beam Solutions ↗Can Beam provide nighttime hospitalist or tele-nocturnist coverage?
Yes. Beam offers nocturnist coverage, weekend rounding and coverage for gaps in your hospitalist schedule. The hours and work included are set around your hospital’s needs.
More on Beam Solutions ↗Can a tele-hospitalist provide cross-cover?
Yes. Beam can provide cross-coverage alongside your local hospitalist team, including nighttime gaps and weekend or holiday relief. Remote hospitalists support admissions, inpatient questions, rounding and discharge planning within your agreed coverage.
More on Beam Solutions ↗Do Beam hospitalists collaborate with NPs and PAs?
Yes. Beam hospitalists work with onsite nurse practitioners (NPs) and physician assistants (PAs). The hospitalist joins by video and works in your EHR to support admissions, rounding, cross-cover and clinical decisions. Your onsite NP or PA provides hands-on bedside care within their scope of practice.
More on Beam Solutions ↗How does a hybrid hospitalist program work?
A remote board-certified internist partners with an onsite nurse practitioner or physician assistant. The remote physician supports clinical decisions, rounding and discharge planning, while the onsite clinician provides hands-on bedside care.
More on Beam Solutions ↗Do we need to replace our EHR?
No EHR swap is required. Beam works alongside your existing systems and embeds the hospitalist team in your facility’s workflows.
More on Beam Solutions ↗Telemedicine basics
What is an eConsult?
An eConsult is a provider-to-provider question sent with relevant patient records. The specialist reviews the information and returns a written recommendation for the chart. The patient does not need to join a live video visit.
More on Beam Solutions ↗What is the difference between a curbside consult, an eConsult and a teleconsult?
A curbside consult is a quick question from one provider to a specialist. An eConsult adds a specialist review of the records and a written recommendation for the chart. A teleconsult is a live video visit in which the specialist evaluates the patient. Your local provider stays in charge of care in all three.
More on Beam Solutions ↗How does telemedicine work for a hospital or clinic?
Your nurse, doctor or care team reaches a Beam clinician by video or eConsult. Beam clinicians document in your EHR and talk with your providers, while your onsite team gives hands-on care. Patients can get specialty and inpatient care close to home.
Are Beam clinicians licensed and credentialed?
Beam physicians are board-certified, and every Beam clinician, including respiratory therapists and nurse case managers, is licensed in the U.S. states they serve. Beam is accredited by The Joint Commission and uses credentialing by proxy, so your hospital can rely on Beam’s credentialing work. Your hospital still grants privileges.
Is Beam a virtual locum tenens company?
No. Beam partners with organizations for the long term. We work with your team on the strategy, day-to-day needs and growth of your clinical program.
