Hospitalist Program
Tyler ContinueCARE
Hospital works with
a dedicated group of hospitalist who are devoted
to efficiently managing the process of inpatient
care from the time of admission to discharge from
our hospital. Hospitalist can be internal medicine
or family medicine physicians and have training
in specialties such as, cardiology and intensive
care. These physicians assume the primary responsibility
for managing the medical needs of the patients who
are admitted to our hospital.
A hospitalist does not replace the patient's primary
care physician, surgeon, or other specialist, but
works in close consultation with them to provide
total case management during the patient's entire
stay in our hospital. The hospitalists keep the
patient's primary care physician up-to-date on their
care and treatment plan.
Our hospitalists are committed to providing
quality and compassionate care to our patients and
their families. Whether explaining a medical procedure,
updating the family on their loved one's condition
or planning appropriate care after discharge, our
hospitalist are dedicated to ensuring that patients
are comfortable and receive very good care during
their stay in Tyler ContinueCARE
Hospital.
Hospitalists do not see patients outside of the
hospital setting. While a patient is under the care
of a hospitalist, the primary care physician receives
continuous updates about the patient's condition
and plays a major role in the treatment plan.
Once a patient is discharged from our hospital,
any follow-up appointments should be made with the
primary care physician who has consulted with the
hospitalist in developing the treatment plan.

CHC was formed to preserve
the not-for-profit status of community-based health
care organizations, which is important to a community
hospital because it defines the central mission
of the hospital as offering quality health care
services to all community residents in a cost-effective
manner. CHC also strives to help community-based
health care organizations improve operations and
care through partnership and shared vision.
Tyler ContinueCARE Hospital
is a 51 bed LTAC hospital located on the 4th floor
of our host hospital Trinity Mother Frances Hospital.
We enjoy the best of both worlds by being in partnership
with a large 352 bed acute care hospital yet maintaining
our small hospital atmosphere. Our employees are
a dedicated team who work together to deliver the
best possible care for our patients. Our longer
length of stay allows our staff the opportunity
to get to know their patients and families and spend
quality time making a difference.
