the hospital. Let’s keep
it that way.
Care Transition
Our Care Transition Program provides clinical support to patients recently discharged from the hospital and reduces the risk of readmission and overall healthcare costs. The core program involving daily interaction with patients costs less than a single home visit by a nurse. Care Transition Programs have consistently shown a reduction of readmission rates for congestive heart failure, pneumonia, and heart attacks by at least 10%. Our proactive follow-up programs provide opportunities for provider reimbursement of the post-discharge follow-up call and physician visit. Fonemed Nurse Support programs consistently show an ROI of more than 200%.
Our Care Transition Program Includes
- A plan of care with the discharging institution using our best practices for remote care templates if desired
- Ensuring the patient understands plan of care
- Medication reconciliation
- 24/7 nurse triage services available for any symptomatic patient calls outside dedicated case management coverage hours
- Educational messages and reminders for follow-up appointments electronically or by Health Service Specialists
- Great Call, smart phone applications or tablet access (optional)
- Physician escalation 24/7 (optional)
- Encounter documentation for attending physician and inclusion in medical records
- Remote device monitoring, including alert management services (optional: Fonemed can supply complete procurement and management of medical monitoring devices through its partners)
