Saving lives, Saving Rural America
Rural Cardiovascular Solutions (RCS) is the premier provider of vascular services: partnering with leading cardiologists throughout the country to develop and manage rural hospital cardiology programs.
RCS builds the vascular practice and works with the hospital.
Our proven approach to success in providing practice and management, operations, marketing and compliance allows physicians to focus on patient care while RCS builds the vascular practice and works with the hospital.
Current Environment
Life flight / transport patients with cardiac issues.
A physician group or large hospital will do clinic once a month at the hospital.
All the interventions go to their hospital in an urban area.
The hospital receives zero revenue.
Unless urgent, patients tend to not go to treatment away from home:
- The patient has an increased cost in going out of town.
- The patient is worried they will never return home.
- The patient does not have the transportation / support of out of town care.
- If elective (90% of cardiology is elective) the patient tends to wait because of the hassle until it’s non elective
Rural Hospitals can’t afford the equipment and staff...
- to work 2 to 4 days a month for interventions.
- to recruit the specialized staff required to run a cardiac Cath lab.
- to recruit the specialized physician to do interventions for the Cath lab.
The Problem
Most physician service groups may come in and see your patients, but this requires them to leave and get the procedure done at their facility in order to benefit from the reimbursement.
Others do not include sharing cost of trained NP, echo tech, or office manager to follow-up on these patients.
Our Solution
RCS has developed a partnership-based solution designed to elevate the standard of care for patients.
You keep your patients, we provide the needed services.
