United Front Representing your Facility
As providers of supportive care, we act as a united front representing the hospital, even though we are not directly employed by it. This unified front of representation ensures a seamless and cohesive patient experience, reinforcing the positive image of the hospital.
Decreased Issues from Family Dynamics, Patient Concerns, Discharge, and Follow-Up
Supportive care addresses family dynamics, patient concerns, and challenges related to discharge and follow-up. By providing comprehensive support, we aim to minimize issues, fostering smoother transitions and reducing the likelihood of readmission.
Discharge Support
A key aspect of supportive care is dedicated discharge support. This includes ensuring patients and their families understand and have the necessary resources for post-discharge care, medications, and follow-up appointments. This targeted support contributes to a more successful transition from hospital to home.
