What
is our mission statement?
The mission of Continuous Care Center is to provide
high quality, affordable, compassionate, transitional
health care to the people of Northeastern Oklahoma
and surrounding communities.
What
is the difference between LTACH's and Skilled Nursing
facilities?
LTACH's are staffed and equipped to provide specialized
and intensive treatment for critically ill patients,
while Skilled Nursing facilities are generally structured
to stabilize the condition of patients with much lower
acuity levels. LTACH's also aggressively apply an
interventionist treatment plan designed to secure
the best possible outcomes.
How
does a patient get admitted into your hospital?
Each patient referred to CCC receives an assessment
by a nurse liaison. He or she performs a clinical
assessment to determine the appropriateness for admission.
Can
my current physician still take care of me?
A patient's current physician, as long as they have
admitting privileges, can still take care of their
patient, if this is what he/she desires to do. Of
course, another attending physician can be assigned
to care for the patient.
What
about your financial criteria for patients?
The Admissions Administrator assists in this process
of determining the financial resources for patients,
available through Medicare, Commercial Insurance,
etc., prior to admitting. The referring physician
and or facility is then notified for admission.
