Our Approach: Coordinated Care

We bridge the gap by connecting:

  • Primary care physicians (PCPs)
  • Specialists
  • Home Health providers
  • Patient and family support teams

Goal: Prevent readmissions by ensuring smooth, informed, and supported transitions
 

Why Transitions of Care Matter

Smooth care transitions can dramatically improve patient outcomes by:

  • Enhancing quality of care
  • Reducing preventable readmissions
  • Ensuring patients receive timely follow-up
     

Proven Results:

  • Up to 21.7% reduction in 30-day readmissions
  • Up to 20% lower readmission rates vs. standard care
  • Post-discharge follow-up rates increase by 30-40%

  • Providers (NPs, physicians)
