HHP delivers a set of services specific to each patients to help them move from one care setting to another, such as from a hospital to their home. The goal is to ensure patients receive the care they need to recover and reduce hospital readmission.
This includes follow-up appointments, medication management, and coordination with other healthcare providers -- typically a team of professionals, including specialists, home care, physical therapy, social workers, and case managers.
Transitional care is important because patients can experience new diagnoses, medical crises, or changes in medication therapy after being discharged from a hospital or other inpatient facility. Common causes of patient readmission are often caused by communication failures, procedural errors, and unimplemented care plans.
HHP provides clinical care services delivered in-home during the transition of care from a hospital, managed facility, or group setting. Our goals is to provide excellent coordination of care delivery to ensure each patient receives the support and aid needed.
