Hospitalist Program

• Program Overview

  Sumner Regional Medical Center (SRMC) has a well-established Hospitalist’s program.  All hospitalists are well trained and focus on diseases of the hospitalized patient. During the hospital stay, the hospitalist keeps in close contact with the referring primary care physician (PCP). In most cases direction is sought from the PCP in designing a discharge plan for the patient. Following discharge the patient’s care is returned to the primary care provider. The hospitalist’s practice is limited to in-patient care.

  Below we have provided you with information that should assist you in having your patient admitted to SRMC through the hospitalist’s program:

  Please call the admitting Hospitalist line when you have a patient that you believe is a candidate for hospital admission.
  Admitting Hospitalist Direct Admit 615-328-2255

• Responsibilities of the Hospitalist Program:
  • Provide and coordinate quality inpatient medical care to all patients referred to our hospitalist program
  • Evaluate all patients as requested and render appropriate medical care. 
  • Notify physician’s office of patient’s admission to the hospital.  Such notification will be by fax and when necessary by phone.
  • Confer with physician as necessary to enhance the delivery of medical care. 
  • Consult appropriate specialties as needed, and attempt when possible to maintain previously established referral patterns.
  • Communicate with patients and family members as necessary to keep them involved and informed in the patient’s treatment plan.   
  • Notify physician’s office of patient’s discharge from the hospital.  Pertinent medical records including discharge orders and discharge summaries will be sent to physician’s office. 
  • Refer patient to physician for follow-up outpatient care.  
  • Be responsible for billing professional fees for inpatient services to the appropriate payer source.  
• Responsibilities of the Referring Primary Care Provider:
  • Inform patients of physician’s relationship with SRMC’s Hospitalist Program prior to hospitalization, when possible.
  • Consult Hospitalist Program for admission by calling admitting hospitalist at 615-328-8888
  • Encourage patients to contact physician prior to presenting to the Emergency Dept
  • Provide pertinent medical information to the Nursing Supervisor Fax 615-328-5569 when notified of a patient’s admission.
  • Provide patients with outpatient follow-up care according to the time frame requested by Hospitalist Program.
  • Contact the Physician Hospitalist Program’s office 615-328-4599 for questions, suggestions, or concerns regarding a patient’s inpatient care.   
  • We welcome your input and suggestions to make the SRMC Hospitalist’s Program a complete success. It is our goal to meet both the needs of your patients and the expectations of your office. Should you have any additional questions or concerns, please contact our Hospitalist’s Office Coordinator, Michelle Scruggs at 615-328-5592
  • To complement our Hospitalist Program, SRMC also offers an Intensivist Program. Much like the Hospitalist Program, these providers specialize in the evaluation and treatment of patients in the Critical Care Unit. The information above remains the same for the Intensivist Program.

Transfer Center

• Overview

  The transfer center is operated through Access Point. To request a transfer call 615-328-CALL (2255). The fax number is 256-765-0076. The focus of Access Point is to create a path of least resistance to our organization, identify opportunities to improve efficiency and promote more time for caregivers at the bedside. Access Point will coordinate numerous aspects of our transfer processes in partnership with our medical staff and leadership team to identify opportunities for efficiency to improve patient outcomes. Streamlined systems, policies and practices enable rapid acceptance of patients. The business intelligence collected will identify service gaps and improve our quality of care. Providers and hospitals looking for a higher level of care are more likely to send their patients to organizations that move quickly to "yes" to seamlessly accommodate patients.

  Access Point is staffed by registered nurses and clinical support staff. The model supports destination placement based on the most appropriate care setting for patients. Access Point will support and optimize the patient transfer process based on your identified needs to include: 

  • Coordinate access requests received 24/7
  • Determination of the clinical needs and appropriate facility for the patient
  • Capacity and capability verification of the accepting facility
  • Coordination of a doctor-to-doctor conference on a recorded line
  • Securing the most appropriate mode of ground or air transport 
  • Provide updates throughout the transfer process 
  • Provide a call summary to the accepting facility prior to the patient’s arrival 
  • Provide follow-up updates to the referring facility 
  • Document all stages and timing of the access process
