Organization of Your Health Profile.

You, as the patient, are the best gatekeeper of your health record! Electronic health records (EHRs) can’t always share your data from one healthcare provider to another. Our advocates will listen and gather your health history and compile it in an easy to navigate record that you can share with every healthcare provider you see. Having an accurate health profile and database, leads to less duplication of tests and medical errors.

Care Coordination & Transition of Care.

Managing chronic diseases or figuring out next steps after a new diagnosis can be daunting and overwhelming! Our Patient Advocates can help you step by step understand your disease states and what your healthcare team is recommending. The time you spend with a Patient Advocate discussing your questions and concerns, will help you more effectively communicate your healthcare issues and desires with members of your healthcare team.

A hospital stay is never easy and coming home sometimes is scarier! Our Advocate team can help you understand your discharge plan and help you facilitate any at home care/services you may need.
