What is inpatient support Wisconsin PATH ALONG Model

Wisconsin's PATH ALONG model facilitates access to supportive staff who can accompany a senior in through the hospital stay.  There are four themes of support that weave through the structure of the hospital stay.  The four themes of support include:

Supporting evaluation
Supporting instruction
Supporting verbalized changes
Supporting post discharge needs

Supporting evaluation involves blending individual department assessments in to the long term view of needed interventions.  Accommodating  acute assessments in to the long term daily care regimen.  This includes talking through with the patient how this intervention would occur in the home to help reduce the risk of a re-hospitalization.

Supporting instruction involves repetition of information delivered by the individual departments as a way to enhance learning and insure participation.  If pharmacy has advised the patient to take a medication with food, the regimen is altered in the home to continue this important practice.

Supporting verbalized changes involves communicating new needs in to the varied individual providers to establish a treatment suited to restore ongoing level of function. If the patient reports a symptom (redness and swelling of skin) this is communicated rapidly at the time of occurrence to all the existing departments providing service.  This delivers a holistic higher quality outcome.

Supporting post discharge needs involves consistent timely communication of the medical interventions during the hospital stay and the continuing changes to the ongoing care regimen.  This means all post hospital service providers understand the reason for the hospital visit and the existing changes required to best maintain health.
