Expanding Access to Care in Rural Hospitals with Medbridge Care

Critical Access Hospitals (CAHs) serve as a lifeline for millions of Americans living in rural communities. However, they face substantial challenges, including geographic barriers, clinician shortages, and financial constraints. These challenges make it difficult to deliver timely, high-quality care—especially for patients with low- to moderate-complexity musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions, as well as those with specialized or preventative needs like pelvic healthcare or fall prevention.

Hybrid care, which blends in-person and virtual care, offers a scalable solution. By leveraging technology, CAHs can expand patient access while reducing clinician burden and improving outcomes. Medbridge Care enables rural hospitals to implement hybrid care models efficiently.

In this guide, you’ll learn:

  • The challenges CAHs face in delivering clinical care.
  • How hybrid care models address common conditions in rural communities.
  • How Medbridge Care expands access, improves outcomes, and streamlines operations.
  • Real-world examples and best practices for implementation.
