National has been partnering with providers across the Northeast for over 30 years to collaboratively provide a continuum of services in post-acute and long-term care. We understand the complexities, challenges, and constraints of the healthcare system and work with our partners to ensure patients receive the highest quality care at every moment under our care.
Complete the Continuum of Care
Value-Based Care Approach
To effectively improve patient outcomes and reduce the cost of care, we believe a value-based care model is critical.
Clinical Approach
- Prioritize communication and follow-up with providers
- High-quality clinical excellence
- Superior patient experience
- Passport to Home transitional care coordination by a clinical integration nurse
Cost Considerations
- Managing length-of-stay
- Avoiding hospital re-admission
- Total cost of care
Passport to Home
Our Passport to Home approach is designed to deliver the best care throughout a patient’s healthcare journey by connecting them to post-acute and long-term care services. For providers, this means you have a dependable partner who can connect your patients to a continuum of care services, ensuring a well-managed and supervised transition home and recovery.

Clinical Integration Nurses
In our pursuit of clinical excellence we employ a team of Clinical Integration Nurses (CINs) who provide continued care management for up to 90 days based on the associated value-based care initiative. CINs provide coordination with providers including ACOs or bundled care networks. This also includes care coordination and integration with our continuum home care partner, Constellation.
