Please begin by calling us. The emergency physician will help expedite the triage process and ensure that your patient’s care is efficient and directed to the consultant of your choice. Be prepared to provide any pertinent medical information, along with a medication list and any known allergies.

A Level II Emergency Center, we provide experienced emergency physicians and nurses who are ready to deliver efficient, effective care to patients with any type of medical emergency.

All physicians staffing our Emergency Department are board-certified or board-eligible in Emergency Medicine, something not commonly found in communities this size. Most of our physicians have been with the department for over 10 years, reflecting their commitment to provide quality emergency medicine to our community.

Follow-Up Care

We strongly encourage patients to seek follow-up care with their physician after a medical emergency. To help you provide the most complete care, we provide referring physicians with a copy of the face sheet and the Emergency Department assessment on the next business day after a patient’s visit. The referring physician’s name is added to Goshen Hospital’s Meditech account so physicians with access to electronic medical records (EMR) can view their patient’s medical records.

You can also request additional report copies calling Health Information Management at (574) 364-2624.

Home Care & Hospice have been consolidated into one department, but both provide individualized care to meet the needs of each patient and family.

We offer individualized care based upon each patient’s specific needs. All of our providers are specially trained and registered, licensed or certified in their area of expertise.

Goshen Hospital is proud of our Hospitalist Program. We partner with Apogee Physicians, the nation’s leading hospitalist group, to allow for greater physician flexibility, while ensuring our patients receive the highest quality inpatient care.

Our hospitalist team is made up of internal medicine physicians, nurse practitioners and patient information coordinators.

Objectives

• To provide inpatient care for unassigned patients via the emergency department
• Unassigned patients are assigned to a PCP in their geographical area for follow-up care upon admission. This ensures complete and accurate communication with the assigned PCP, resulting in a smooth and seamless transition from inpatient care to follow-up care.
• To provide inpatient care for medical staff members (outside of Goshen) who do not currently admit patients directly.
• Co-management of inpatient care for the Goshen Physicians specialists.
• Transition to coverage for inpatient care for PCPs who choose to utilize this service.

Patient information coordinators (PICs)

The role of the patient information coordinators (PICs) is to communicate with both the patient as well as the PCP’s office to ensure a seamless transition from inpatient to follow-up care.

Responsibilities

• Contacts referring offices to notify physician of a patient’s admittance and/or obtain necessary information on admitted patients.
• Communicates with the referring physicians regarding admitted patients.
• Ensures the discharge summary is sent to the referring physician’s office within 48 hours of discharge.
• Follows up with patients after discharge to confirm the patient’s appointment with their PCP.

The PICs do not provide clinical care to patients.

Following an injury, illness, surgery or trauma, Goshen Rehabilitation can help your patients (adults and children) achieve their highest potential. We offer a complete range of rehabilitative care, including physical therapy, occupational therapy and speech therapy. Please see referral form for a complete listing.

Services are offered on an inpatient and outpatient basis. Our convenient facilities feature leading-edge equipment and qualified, competent rehab professionals.

Outpatient Medicare B Cap

Medicare Part B places a payment cap on outpatient rehabilitation services for all providers except hospital outpatient departments. That means there are no limitations on your patients’ quality or quantity of care for outpatient services through Goshen Rehabilitation.

Outpatient services through other providers such as skilled nursing facilities, rehabilitation agencies, clinics and home health agencies are annually capped per person at less than $1,800 for occupational therapy and $1,800 for physical and speech therapy combined. Since Goshen Rehabilitation falls outside of the Medicare B cap, your patients can take advantage of their rehabilitative care as prescribed – meaning a faster road to recovery.
