Case Study: a rural hospital improves patient outcomes and reduces transfers with AmplifyMD virtual specialty care

Rural Hospital avoids 81% of transfers with AmplifyMD

A rural hospital with 45 staffed beds struggled to meet its community's needs due to a lack of specialists in key fields. This forced the hospital to routinely transfer a high number of patients to a tertiary care center 90 minutes away, which negatively impacted its financial stability. The hospital partnered with AmplifyMD for its virtual specialty care service to address this challenge.

By implementing AmplifyMD's virtual care programs in infectious disease, hematology/oncology, and psychiatry, the hospital enhanced its onsite care. The results were significant: 81% of patients with a virtual consult avoided transfer, and the hospital saw a 10% increase to its overall CMI. AmplifyMD's solution also delivered a 28x return on investment for the hospital.
