Clinical Resources
Clinical support built on decades of care
Leveraging over 20 years of experience in long-term and acute care, Sound Long-Term Care Management (SLTCM) has built a dedicated clinical team — including our Chief Medical Officer (CMO), Associate Chief Medical Officer (ACMO), and Quality Improvement Nurses — to support partner providers and facilities.
Our clinical team understands the complexities of caring for long-term and assisted-living patients, uniquely positioning us to help enhance care for this vulnerable population. We add an extra layer of clinical support, specialized expertise, insights, and resources — all focused on improving patient outcomes and quality of life.
Our nurses, in particular, play a key role in this collaborative approach. Drawing from years of hands-on experience, they work alongside providers to identify at-risk patients, ensuring they receive the extra care and attention needed to stay on track and avoid unnecessary health complications.
Support beyond the bedside: Tools for working smarter
Delivering high-quality care takes more than clinical expertise — it requires the right tools, technology, and support systems to help providers make informed decisions and streamline care delivery. SLTCM equips clinical partners with value-added resources that enhance patient outcomes and make care more efficient.
Tele-clinicians for after-hours expert care
SLTCM offers access to the nation's leading LPTAC telemedicine platform to ensure patients receive timely medical attention when primary care teams are unavailable during evenings, weekends, and holidays. Subsidized for qualifying facilities, the platform connects nurses with Sound tele-clinicians, who — equipped with key patient insights from the EHR — provide expert guidance tailored to the needs of long-term care residents. This service adds an extra layer of support after hours for peace of mind and continual access to high-quality care.
Coordinated care for improved outcomes
Many long-term care patients live with chronic conditions that put them at risk for frequent hospitalizations. As many as 23 percent of discharged patients are readmitted within 30 days for the same condition. Our care coordination programs support patients, care teams, and caregivers in managing these conditions where they are — helping to prevent unnecessary hospitalizations and readmissions while improving continuity of care.
Unlocking the power of patient data
Patient data holds more than numbers — it’s full of insights that can drive better care when examined with the right tools, expertise, and perspective. SLTCM works to centralize, interpret, and present patient data in a way that makes it truly actionable. Then, our clinical leaders meet with partner providers monthly to deliver fully-profiled, real-time insights and collaborate to guide quality improvements, enhance patient outcomes, and support fully-informed, proactive care.
Educational empowerment
Our educational platform — available to partner providers through SLTCM — offers concise, customizable educational modules designed to disseminate actionable knowledge to frontline teams. Additionally, the platform hosts interdisciplinary idea boards to foster collaborative learning and quality improvement.
We’re here to help providers deliver focused, high-impact care while ensuring they remain in the driver’s seat. SLTCM works in partnership to provide the extra resources and clinical guidance needed to navigate complex patient needs more effectively.
