Hospital to Home
A precarious juncture along the path to healing and well-being is the transition in care from the hospital to the home environment. It is not unusual to find confusion about medications, difficulty in getting timely physician follow-up appointments, spaces that are hazardous to navigate, inadequate daily nutrition and irregular oversight of personal care. As a aid to clarifying hospital directives, Ivory House launched a Transitional Care Checklist to facilitate documenting home health care needs for a patient and for assistance in the home.
