ABOUT APOLLO 360
Apollo 360
When you or your loved one has been diagnosed with a serious or chronic illness or is simply progressing through the natural aging process, the ability to access a continuum of care takes on greater importance. An integrated health system can provide seamless transitions as your needs change. Our mission is to provide a comprehensive continuum of care to our patients across multiple phases of the healthcare system.
Continuum of care starts when the patient enters the healthcare system and ends when care is no longer needed and ensures the patient receives the right treatment in the right place at the right time while avoiding unnecessary duplication of services. For patients with chronic conditions, continuum care ensures that they continue receiving treatment to manage symptoms or have treatment plans adjusted as necessary.
HOSPITAL MEDICINE PROGRAM
Apollo360 Hospital Medicine is the flagship service of Apollo360. Our hospitalist physicians provide continuous acute care coverage to hospitalized patients year-round. It focuses on clinical care, education and quality of care, and patient safety in the hospital environment.
We work closely with case managers, social workers, and other members of the hospital care coordination team to ensure high-quality care and patient safety and provide a smooth transition of care when patients are discharged from the hospital.
We have a strong focus on evidence-based, appropriate utilization of diagnostic tests and medical treatment and formulate a care plan that is specifically tailored to each individual patient’s needs.
Additionally, we identify patients with multiple chronic conditions in need of additional support, and our providers will continue to follow these patients closely in a post-acute care clinic for the first 30 days of discharge. We continue to follow these patients even as they transition to a skilled nursing facility.
We also work to identify potential gaps in the transition of care and chronic disease management. We carefully create a specific, personalized care plan for each patient. We collaborate with the patient, the patient’s family, and other caregivers to ensure the care plan is followed. We strive to provide seamless care transition.
We utilize the latest healthcare technology to facilitate communication among a patient’s primary care physician, urgent care, emergency department, and specialists. We strive to ensure that all aspects of a patient’s care plan are connected and transition seamlessly among each phase.

POST-ACUTE CARE CLINIC
Apollo360 Post-Acute Care Clinic focuses on close follow-up of patients recently discharged from the hospital. Our program identifies patients with multiple chronic conditions and those with very complex hospitalizations.
Our post-acute care team proactively reaches out to these patients and provides a physician follow-up office visit within one week of discharge. Our team of physicians, allied health professionals, RNs, case managers, and social workers will work together to ensure a smooth care transition. They will also review their hospital stay and post-discharge instructions to increase patient compliance. We also provide medication reconciliation. We ensure that patients and their caregivers are confident and comfortable with the care plan.
By offering the entire post-acute continuum of care, we help ease the transition between healthcare providers by better aligning our physicians, hospitals, and post-acute care settings according to the patient’s needs. This collaboration is designed to streamline the transfer of care and reduce hospital readmissions.
SKILLED NURSING FACILITY
Post-acute skilled nursing care plays a critical role in healthcare by helping a patient regain and restore their ability and go back to the people and activities they love. The main focus is to maximize the patient’s functional abilities as well as confidence in caring for themselves as independently as possible.
Apollo360 works closely with skilled nursing facilities in the San Gabriel Valley area to ensure a smooth transition of care after a patient is discharged from the hospital. Our physicians, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants regularly assess patients for skilled nursing needs while the patients are still hospitalized.
We work closely with SNFs to ensure that all the medications and medical equipment are available for the patients when they arrive at the SNF. Our care team continues to see these patients at the SNF on a regular basis in order to ensure patients are receiving the treatments they need to improve their functional abilities with the ideal goal of transitioning these patients to a safe environment at home.
