Understanding Readmission Causes for Successful Transitional Care
Numerous factors can lead to a hospital readmission. Following are just a few of the issues leading to readmission that our transitional care program in Santee seeks to address:
- Improper management of an illness at home
- Lack of sleep or poor diet due to disruption of daily routines
- Poor follow-through with discharge and medical instructions
- Issues with scheduling medication dosages
- Missed follow-up medical appointments
Our Transitional Care Program’s Special Approach
At Visiting Angels La Mesa, we use a three-prong approach to provide thorough care for clients who are at risk of readmission. Here are the main steps of our transitional care program in Santee:
- Step One: Starting in the hospital. We don’t wait until your Santee loved one has been discharged to begin transitional care. Instead, we first meet with his or her hospital discharge planner to lay the foundation for a successful transition. We also provide our clients with our detailed transitional care guide, “Ready-Set-Go Home.” This guide prepares seniors for their discharge and explains the steps they must take to avoid readmission.
- Step Two: Monitoring in the home. Our compassionate caregivers at Visiting Angels La Mesa monitor clients after they have been discharged in order to gain insight into their well-being and report any issues that need to be addressed.
- Step Three: Tracking progress. At Visiting Angels La Mesa, our office staff uses specialized tools and equipment to track our clients’ progress. This information helps ensure that the client’s transition is as smooth as possible.
