Using centralized dispatch and national coverage, the new ROHO National Referral Fulfillment Network will let a Discharge Planner, Case Manager or other health care provider to order ROHO products for patients as they are discharged.
“A discharge planner can work with the local ROHO representative so that she knows exactly what type of products will work best for her patients,” said Rhonda Hines, director of referral management for MED Group.“And, with a dedicated referral Network solution in place, she can be assured that the products she has chosen are the products that will be placed by a highly qualified, accredited provider.”
