PATH ALONG reminds readers to be aware of the development of cardiac tools that can be used in the hospital setting to predict the risk for a readmission. Add on programs that utilize technology to draw pertinent statistics of cardiac diagnostics and formulate a numerical value of risk for a readmission within 30 days of discharge.
The risk which is demonstrated as a number will be listed in the electronic medical record of the indivdual. Hospitalists can then use the number as evidence for the patients need for additional supportive service upon discharge. This is an evidence based method for inpatient providers to scientifically support their assessments that indicate the patient will require additional help when exiting the hospital.
Once the risk for a readmission has been validated through the cardiac tool, the challenge is to coordinate support that can best fit the need. Adequate in home help involves medical skilled visits and non-medical supportive (www.homecarepath.com) staff who can deliver consistent care through a recovery.
Wisconsin's PATH ALONG model helps seniors during the hospital stay and with outpatient treatment visits. PATH ALONG is a strong arm of Home Care Path a community based organization commited to performing a service that supports the changing needs of an aging population.
