The handful of days immediately following discharge from the hospital are critical to long-term health outcomes. Some patients may develop new or worsening symptoms following a hospital visit, while others deal with adverse side effects from prescription drugs. The move from emergency inpatient treatment back to living at home can be a relief for many patients, but the accompanying lack of structure and supervision can also make it more difficult to keep up with a treatment plan.
Nav Central is able to play an active role in facilitating this transition, following up with patients after they leave the hospital to ensure they understand doctor’s instructions, to gauge the effectiveness of the recovery process, and to properly evaluate whether or not any changes to the treatment plan may be necessary, all while directly integrating members of the patient’s care team throughout the process.
We’re also available 24/7 to respond to any new issues or needs that may arise after the hospital visit. Expert follow-up is an essential element of our efforts to effectively reduce the cost, length, and frequency of hospital stays.
