PATH ALONG staff enhance the safety and productivity of an inpatient stay by assisting the person to develop their personal transition information. Establish knowable answers to identified unknowns as relates to each variation in the service specific transition.
Examples include:
Will the home town pharmacy have the prescribed medicine to despense in the home setting.
Have all the pending labs been reviewed by the hospitalist.
Is transportation available for the scheduled primary provider visit.
Is the patient sceduled to be home with the skilled nurse visit.
Will the supportive in home care service have staff available that day.
Counsel flows together with an Occam's razor like approach to assure actions are pragmatic and add to the frame work of the medical providers plan of care. PATH ALONG staff encourage the patient not to take things for granted as a way to deliver a standard level of care assurance. The personal transition information moves from the complex to an ordinary perfection. This projects steps in to the transition process allowing for the measure of compliance.
Ongoing interventions can be recorded within the individual structure of the transition to allow for a rapid adjustment while demonstrating a historical perspective. Data review can calculate similar manifestations of the need for individual transitional changes to support an over all best practice policy.
As an evidence based model one's individual transition (stays confidential) information contributes to activities that support future PATH ALONG patients. PATH ALONG is a quality driven model with three defined services designed to reduce hospital readmissions.
