The Nursing Assistants Always Know

The nursing assistants always know what the hospitalized patient is needing help with.  Wisconsin's PATH ALONG model communicates this important aspect of an inpatient's needs this way:

Hospital nurse aide     (transition)     In home supportive care

Dynamic component- ADL's and IADL's needing assistance

Rationale: Assistants to perform needed tasks helps prevent a rehospitalization

When a hospitalized individual requires the help of another with eating, meal prep, bathing, dressing, daily hygiene, oral care, hair care, medication reminders, laundry, scheduled toileting, walking, transferring, arranging appointments, or communicating on the phone, it is likely they will need this help when discharged.

Medical system coordinators know all people recover on their own unique schedule.  The goal at discharge is to arrange for post acute support needed to contribute to a rehospitalization free recovery period.

Wisconsin's PATH ALONG model explains how attention to "CARE TRANSITIONS" during the inpatient stay is a primary intervention required in today's health delivery practice.  The nursing assistant is a strong participant in the future of medicine.
