Because connection is at the heart of wellness.
Connected Care Patient Advocates empowers and supports patients and families as they deal with illness and engage with a health care system that often leaves patients feeling frustrated, confused and alone. We are trained and experienced registered nurses who provide patient education, care coordination and facilitate communication -- between you and your medical providers and among your providers themselves. We serve patients of all ages, and all aspects of health challenges and care – from surgeries, to chronic illness, to end-of-life planning. Our goal is to improve health outcomes by helping clients make better informed, more engaged health care decisions.
We Advocate For You.
We do not work for the hospital, we work for you. Our services are patient-centered and client-focused. We help you obtain, process, and understand the information needed to map out a well-defined path to purposeful care. Though our client-centered approach, we:
CLARIFY - diagnoses and interpret laboratory/diagnostic tests
REVIEW - your medical history and medications to be sure there are no conflicts
RESEARCH - diagnoses, treatment options, clinical trials and second opinions; and
EDUCATE - clients about alternative therapies or treatments whenever applicable or appropriate.
We are your eyes, ears and second voice. We can accompany you on appointments and ask the questions you might not know to ask. We provide personalized guidance to you and your family to make your healthcare experience less stressful and more informed. We promote and build relationships within your healthcare team to keep the focus on your specific needs and care.
In sum, we provide, a more connected care.
...I SHALL BE LOYAL TO MY WORK AND DEVOTE MYSELF TO THE WELFARE OF THOSE COMMITTED TO MY CARE.
