RN case managers, inside your workflow.

Tele-case management brings remote RN case managers into your hospital’s care workflow. Beam reviews ER and observation patients, helps identify patient-status changes and shares findings with your hospitalist and ER teams.

Beam’s RN case managers review observation patients morning and evening against MCG or InterQual criteria. They communicate status-change findings to your clinical team and provide weekly reports. Your treating provider makes the patient-status decision.

Yes. Remote chart reviews and status updates can support your local case managers, hospitalists and ER staff. Beam’s role and coverage are set around the work your facility needs.

Yes. Beam describes daily reviews of ER and observation patients, seven days a week. This is case-management and patient-status review, rather than continuous bedside monitoring or emergency care.

Many case-management tasks, such as chart review, payer calls and discharge coordination, can be done through the EHR and by phone. Confirm which discharge-planning and placement tasks are included in your Beam program; the observation-review service should not be assumed to include every discharge task.

They are separate services. Case managers review charts and patient status; hospitalists provide medical care. Beam’s case-management service has scheduled daily coverage, so continuous overnight case management should not be assumed.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
