Post-discharge Care Challenges:
Lets look at some common challenges for patients and hospitals while delivering patient care:
For Patients:
Patients typically receive sheets of paper with discharge and home care instructions
Patients usually forget their care plan details and advice within few hours
Patients call nurse line and look for advice from friends, family and online
Existing PHR apps are not connected to their doctors and hospitals
For Doctors / Hospitals:
Hospitals have to employ new staff and spend money to monitor patients pro-actively
Hospitals have difficulty connecting patient care efforts with revenue impact
Hospitals have invested in HIS, EMR technology, but patients can't interface with it
Doctors don't have time to address routine aspects like rehabilitation, diet/nutrition information etc.
