At the same time, they result in significant cost savings for payors. Service delivery is guided by clinically-trialed critical pathways and treatment protocols, with demonstrated success across the disability groups served. In addition to treating the patient, our rehabilitation teams work with others who can help to make treatment a success, including family, friends, employers, co-workers, educators and fellow students.
Treatment is physician directed and nurse managed.
Rehabilitation services may be provided in concert with our core nursing service or other Olsten Kimberly QualityCare specialty services. Olsten believes in family centered-care, working closely with the family and all members of the health care team. Today, many infants with jaundice are treated with phototherapy. Phototherapy exposes the infant's skin to a specific wave length of light and has been in use since 1958. Home phototherapy, an effective and safe alternative to prolonged hospitalization, has been available since the mid 1980s, and is a key component of Olsten Kimberly QualityCare's care to infants.
