Two Transitional Care program options to fit our patients needs
Population Health At Home Transitional Care Program
Population Health at Home provides a level of assurance that the medical care and attention you received in the hospital does not stop but continues after you are discharged.
Our team of board-certified Advanced Practice Providers come to your home to review and manage your medical, social and behavioral needs. We take a patient-caregiver centered approach by including you and your caregiver in creating your post-discharge plan.
The team will update your primary care provider on your status and plan of care following the initial visit and continue to communicate and collaborate as needed. Our in-home providers may manage your care for up to 30 days with the primary goal being a safe transition back to your primary care provider.
Our Advanced Practice Providers will work with you and your caregiver to:
• Review your discharge instructions and plan.
• Discuss your medications with you and make changes as needed.
• Review how you have been feeling since discharge and address any new or worsening symptoms.
• Perform a physical exam.
• Order any blood work or tests you may need after discharge.
• Stay in constant communication with your doctor/provider about your care and health.
• Work with you on how you can self-manage your condition to increase your independence and effective coping.
• Provide emotional counseling to you and your caregiver.
• Identify challenges that could interfere with your ability to best care for yourself and help find resources to assist you.

You may be eligible for in-home provider services visits if you have:
• A chronic disease or illness that affects your health and daily activities.
