A commitment to supporting employee financial stability and sustainability has gained momentum within many healthcare organizations. Recognizing the precariousness of employees’ financial safety nets due to the impact of COVID-19, employers have intensified their already growing focus on financial wellbeing and understand that carefully selected and communicated benefits can help the workforce plan for the unexpected.
According to Gallagher’s 2021 Retirement Survey Report – U.S. Edition, 67% of employers have either launched a formal financial wellbeing program (37%) or are considering this benefit (30%). From an industry standpoint, those that already offer financial wellbeing opportunities range from 26% in healthcare to 52% in manufacturing and 53% in financial services.

Establishing the appropriate care delivery path for patients after a stay in the ICU or med-surg unit is essential to achieving optimal outcomes. Without the right clinical capabilities and surrounding environment in which to recover, patients may experience delays or suffer medical setbacks that impede recovery. Furthermore, unnecessary discharge delays and avoidable readmissions can increase the total cost of care.
This whitepaper outlines the reasons why long-term acute care hospitals (LTACHs) are often the ideal treatment and recovery setting for medically complex and critically ill patients, and a cost-effective partner in healthcare networks:
LTACHs can provide efficient care for a growing medically complex population
Pulmonary expertise allows LTACHs to treat critical respiratory patients
Integrated rehab and acute care at LTACHs helps patients recover more quickly
The COVID-19 pandemic is transforming every industry, and healthcare is no exception. From telehealth to touchless check-ins and payments, keeping up with these changes is essential for providers to deliver safe, exceptional care.
To help healthcare organizations understand this evolving landscape and improve the patient financial experience, Elavon conducted a survey of U.S. healthcare consumers. In February 2021, a survey was deployed to over 1,000 consumers for insight on their preferences, behaviors and expectations around receiving and paying for care.
