Medically Complex Patients
Critical care hospitals like the Rehabilitation and Critical Care Hospital of the Black Hills are uniquely designed to provide care for patients with complex medical needs.
Individuals with complex conditions or multi-system medical issues often require a high level of observation, specialized treatments, and an extended recovery time. To fully address the unique challenges and needs of medically complex patients, our team of physicians, nurses, therapists, and other specialists will work closely together to deliver critical care and customized, comprehensive therapeutic services for each individual we serve.
Through our program for medically complex patients, we offer:
Specialized care in a safe hospital environment.
Medically complex patients have unique care needs. Often, individuals with such conditions require close monitoring and numerous medical treatments over an extended recovery period. Sometimes this recovery period exceeds what traditional hospitals may be able to offer. In cases such as this, patients may be referred to a specialty hospital like ours to continue their treatment plans.
Our team of skilled medical professionals can address the unique treatment needs of medically complex patients. We work with patients to manage their medication, pain, nutrition, hygiene, and general care needs throughout their stay. We also offer telemetry monitoring, an onsite laboratory for testing needs, and specialized bariatric equipment and services.
Focused rehabilitation services.
Individuals with medically complex issues often benefit from rehabilitation programs. Our rehab services are tailored to each patient’s abilities, needs, and recovery goals. When appropriate for the patient’s treatment plan, we’re able to provide a full range of rehabilitation services (physical, occupational, and speech-language therapies), whether at a patient’s bedside or in our rehab gym.
Patient and family support services.
Each patient is assigned a dedicated, interdisciplinary support team. We are here to help patients and their family members through the recovery process. We encourage family involvement and offer education opportunities for caregivers. Our team members work hard to ensure that each individual has access to the information, resources, training, and support they need.
Our dedicated team members work together to deliver a full range of services. Learn more about our comprehensive approach to patient care.
