PATH ALONG Connects Elders With Inpatient Stay

PATH ALONG utilizes model structure to engage the patient in the primary tasks of the care transition.  The focus is on completing the core transition link to maintain continuity in the system of care delivery.

PATH ALONG service addresses the emerging elder population need created through the hospital infrastructures increased dependence on advanced technology.    The elder residence lacking an answering machine and online computer access can be challenged by evolving hospital communication systems.

The (CMS) Centers for Medicare and Medicaid have embraced regulatory guidelines requiring a person to be severely ill to be admitted to the hospital.   Individual hospital departments have employed technology to improve care delivery and shorten the inpatient stay. 

PATH ALONG supports elders too ill or unequipped to connect with online reporting sytems to improve integration with todays version of a hospital stay.  This shifts the patients energy from (loss of energy) the side effects of anxiety and frustration back to the process of supporting healing.

This is managing the perception of change to enhance patient engagement in the core aspects of each individual care transition.  This reduces the number of patients getting stuck with the inpatient stay and abandoning medical plan of care treatments.  PATH ALONG is an inpatient to outpatient supportive care link.
