Impact evidence

Describes programs. Its tax return describes what it does but we have found no measurable results in it.

Programs described in its return (1)
  1. $5.3 million spent. PROVIDE SKILLED NURSING CARE TO SUBACUTE PATIENTS. Admissions 461, Patient days 8,582, length of stay 17.88, Average daily census 23.51, licensed beds 32. TCS serves the same population of Baltimore as Mercy Medical Center. However, TCS is primarily supporting the patients of Mercy's orthopedic service by providing post acute care to any patient in need of services following surgery and acute stay. The TCS allows physicians to follow their patients and provide continuity of care for the patient who no longer requires acute care. 99.1% of TCS admissions are admitted directly from Mercy Medical Center acute care. The TCS admits uninsured and homeless patients upon discharge from an acute hospital stay, thereby providing needed consistent nursing and rehabilitation care to reduce readmissions through the ER.
