▬ The Telium platform · Physician-led
Bring the physician back to the bedside.
Telium Health pairs on-site nurse practitioners with remote, AI-assisted physicians — so residents in senior-care facilities are seen more often, documented to standard, and kept out of the hospital.
- Physician services
- AI-enabled visits
- Evidence-based protocols
- Care that comes to the resident
▬ The model
NP presence, physician authority, AI efficiency.
Care is delivered through a deliberate division of labor, orchestrated by one platform — more frequent, more consistent, fully documented, and dramatically more efficient.
Care that comes to the resident.
Seen more often, by the right clinician, without ever leaving the facility — and every encounter documented to standard.
▬ The platform
Documentation is the center of gravity.
Documentation isn't a feature of Telium — it's the core. Because every encounter is captured inside the platform, complete, structured, timestamped records are captured as a byproduct of care. That one capability pays off three ways.
It drives NP adoption
Because the AI does most of the charting, NPs spend less time documenting and more time with patients — so they actually want to use it.
It defends against citations
Structured, timestamped records substantiate visit frequency, care-plan development, assessment accuracy, and the QAPI trail.
It proves the outcomes
Complete data is what lets us show the reduction in transfers and readmissions — the proof that wins value-based contracts later.
▬ Outcomes & data
The metrics that matter — tracked, and moved.
Telium is built around the numbers that determine a facility's rating, its survey results, and its value-based revenue. We don't just deliver care — we measure it and prove it improved.
Avoidable hospitalizations — usual care vs. on-site physician oversight
Defensible peer-reviewed range · provider-led on-site care · observational program figures (up to 38–57%) reported separately
| Metric | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| 30-day readmission (SNFRM) | Anchors SNF Value-Based Purchasing |
| Hospitalizations & ED / 1,000 days | Feed the CMS Five-Star claims-based measures |
| Antipsychotic / unnecessary meds | A Five-Star measure and frequent survey focus |
| Falls, ulcers, UTIs, function | Core long-stay Quality Measures |
| I-SNP: admits/1,000, ED, total cost | Tracked now; central to the later value-based phase |
Combating the citations that hurt most
The most-cited survey deficiencies are heavily documentation- and protocol-driven — exactly what Telium is built to address.
| F-Tag | What it cites | How Telium helps |
|---|---|---|
| F880 | Infection prevention & control (~42% of facilities) | Standardized infection protocols + automated QAPI surveillance |
| F689 | Accidents / falls / supervision (~26%) | Protocol-driven risk assessment + documented follow-up |
| F656 · F641 · F684 | Care plans / assessment accuracy / quality of care | AI-assisted care-plan completeness; notes that substantiate the MDS |
| F605 | Unnecessary psychotropic medications | Protocol-driven medication review + gradual-dose-reduction records |
| F710–F712 | Physician services & visit timeliness | Timestamped physician/NP visits that directly evidence compliance |
| F867 · F868 | QAPI / QAA program | Built-in QAPI reporting generates the performance-improvement trail |
Citation frequencies reflect recent CMS CASPER data and vary by survey type and period.
▬ For facilities & NP groups
The physician layer an NP model can’t supply on its own.
Keep your nurse-practitioner operation and billing intact. Telium's physician layer and platform sit on top — capturing revenue that goes uncaptured today and letting you serve facilities you can't fully serve now.
| Requirement | NP-only group | With Telium |
|---|---|---|
| SNF initial comprehensive visit (physician-required) | ✗ Cannot bill | ✓ Telium physicians |
| Facility medical director (physician-required) | ✗ Not eligible | ✓ Telium physicians |
| NP supervision & high-acuity escalation | ✗ Gap | ✓ AI-assisted |
| Documentation & survey defense | ~ Variable | ✓ Telium platform |
| Added cost (fee-for-service facilities) | — | ✓ None — Telium bills Medicare directly |
No added cost in FFS facilities
Telium bills Medicare directly for its own physician services. You keep your nurse-practitioner operation and your billing entirely intact.
NPs who use the platform
A free AI scribe that cuts charting time and a physician safety net one tap away — so it earns daily use, not shelfware.
Better ratings, proven
Fewer transfers, fewer citations, stronger Quality Measures — with the data to demonstrate it to surveyors and plans.
▬ For physicians
Practice at the top of your license — on your schedule.
Telium makes physician oversight fast enough to scale. Review AI-drafted notes, attest in minutes, and supervise many NPs across many facilities without the 30-minute-per-visit grind.
Flexible telehealth supervision
Attending visits and NP supervision on a schedule that fits — acute and follow-up by telehealth, the required visits in person.
AI efficiency, protocol-guarded
The note is drafted before you join; evidence-based protocols keep quality consistent and your time on judgment, not typing.
A real pipeline
Attendings, recruited facility medical directors, and licensed moonlighting residents — a flexible, AI-guarded clinician network.
▬ The partnership story
A true win-win — starting in fee-for-service.
Our launch partner, TruHealth, is one of the country's largest nurse-practitioner-led senior-care groups. They have the facilities and the NP workforce; what they structurally lack is the physician layer. Telium supplies it — and the data to prove it works.
Fee-for-service pilot
Launch in TruHealth's direct-pay facilities — Telium bills Medicare directly, at no added cost.
Measure & prove
Track transfers, readmissions, and quality metrics from day one — baseline and improvement.
Scale across FFS
Roll the proven model across the fee-for-service footprint with the physician network behind it.
Value-based / I-SNP
After a year-plus of proven results, extend into value-based / I-SNP programs together.
"No added cost" applies to the fee-for-service model, where Telium bills Medicare directly. Value-based / I-SNP work is a deliberate later phase — inside a capitated arrangement, physician services are a cost against the pool and are structured separately. We never imply the value-based work is free or immediate.

Let’s complete the model — together.
