Do you know how crucial it is to get patients to immerse themselves in their own care?

Doing so not only boosts the quality of care and patient satisfaction but also leads to better health outcomes. Yet, once a patient leaves the hospital, keeping them engaged can be tough—particularly when it comes to staying in touch and ensuring their care remains consistent.
Yes, there is no one on this planet who can take care of you better than yourself, but after surgery it can be tough.

Here are four key steps to help maintain effective communication and support ongoing care after discharge.

Step One: Help the Patient and Family Understand the Diagnosis.

Step Two: Ensure the Patient and Family Are Committed to the Care Plan.

Step Three: Keep the Patient and Family Actively Involved in Care Transitions.

Step Four: Leverage Technology to Continue Patient Oversight.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    A: Yes, it is. The journey from discharge to recovery is crucial and it must be equipped with a follow up care by patient’s family, or by a caregiver

    A: The primary care physician of the patient studies the progress of the patient’s medical condition post-surgery. The PCP will then suggest medication accordingly, they may alter the medication depending on the medical recovery condition of the patient.

    A: It is not recommended to completely rely on the urgent care service after discharge. It is highly recommended to fix appointments with the primary care physician post discharge. An urgent care can be involved to monitor the patient’s progress regularly, assist in any emergencies, prescription refills and caregiving chores.
