The ARMS Approach is Different
ARMS providers take a hands-on approach to care. They have on-site rounding and support the care-giving team at partnering facilities by providing unsurpassed availability and guidance. Staff at partnering facilities have 24-hour direct access, seven days per week, to ARMS clinicians.
Quality is the top priority at ARMS and the physicians and nurse practitioners work closely with partnering staff to ensure they develop the skills and confidence needed to provide the best possible care to patients. ARMS can offer the highest level of care outside of a hospital setting. The end result is an industry-changing approach to quality, rehab length of stay reduction and unprecedented decline in hospital readmissions.
