Appointment Support
Keeping track of appointments and remembering important information and recommendations can be challenging for anyone. An advocate can document the discussions and suggestions, supplying your new doctors with a clear and concise medical history to ensure your care is informed by accurate details.
Hospital Stay Support
Hospital stay support is vital during health crises, offering essential medical history, accurate record-keeping, and assistance for patients and families in understanding treatment. Advocates facilitate informed decisions, relay patient preferences to the care team, and help minimize care errors, especially when patients can't communicate. Even without complete medical history, advocates stabilize situations by gathering information and sharing it with the care team and family. This service encompasses both in-person and virtual support.
Discharge Planning & Support
The day a patient is discharged a facility or program can often create a need for additional support that may not be provided by a single discipline. A patient advocate can facilitate the arrangement of essential medications, hand-off information, environmental adjustments, equipment, fresh food, and orientation to a new setting. This proactive approach can help minimize readmissions, address the needs of patients and their families, and ease the workload for staff by extra support and information access.
