Following
Physician Preferences
We work with the physician and staff to understand
and document the physician's preferred post-surgical care
path. Standing orders for each physician are prepared in advance,
to be authorized at the time of referral. This is completed
as part of program implementation so that we know, in advance,
the physician preferences for all the issues that are most
relevant to managing home therapy for these patients. This
includes:
- Wound care directions
- Monitoring infection
- Blood thinner medications, including lab draws
- Weight bearing status directions
- Nutrition orders
- Vital sign monitoring parameters
The result: easy to use home care that follows physician
preferences in care and communications. |
