For the sake of policy hospital providers will diligently monitor a patients risk for a readmission 30 days post discharge. Wisconsin's PATH ALONG model thinks about a persons long term care needs. This means focusing on the risk beyond the initial month after discharge which is a true model of patient centered care.
Risk of a readmission does not immediately disappear on day 30, it is very common for patients who have experienced a major cardiac event to be readmitted within a year. Most will be well below their normal level of health for longer than one month.
Patients who came in to the hospital independent and were treated for a major cardiac event can leave with reduced capabilities ranging from struggles with transportation, preparing meals, eating, or going to the toilet. Families will notice a significant decline in the day to day function.
Wisconsin's PATH ALONG model provides the family and patient with access to staff (www.homecarepath.com) who can help support the person struggling with reduced capabilities. Staff intervene to compensate for the decline in the persons ability to care for themselves.
