Healthcare
professionals who make sure
the
healthcare system works for you.
LifeSpan
Care Management’s registered healthcare professionals coordinate and manage
health matters for anyone at any age.
COPING
WITH UNEXPECTED HEALTHCARE CRISES
We
never know when we’ll be faced with a medical emergency, serious illness,
injury, extended medical treatment, or major surgery.
When a
crisis hits in your home, the details and coordination of issues that arise can
quickly burden and even overwhelm family members and loved ones.
COMPLETELY
PERSONALIZED ATTENTION
LifeSpan
Care Management makes sure that the healthcare system works for the
patient by delivering personalized attention, sound advice, and
practical assistance— while the patient and family focus on recovery, comfort,
quality of life.
Think
of our healthcare managers as the patient’s guardian angel—always there:
- Watching over everything
that’s happening in the healthcare system, and
- Creating peace of
mind during an extremely stressful period for everyone concerned.
At
LifeSpan Care Management, care management focuses on the client (patient and
family) instead of a system.
REGISTERED
NURSES COORDINATE PATIENT CARE
Our
Care Managers are registered nurses, so their professional experience in
healthcare makes them highly effective in ascertaining expected recovery
timeframes, practical issues the patient and their family will encounter, and
realistic health and functional outcomes for which the patient can look
forward.
Because
LifeSpan’s care managers have expertise in the type of injury or illness they
manage, they are able to anticipate potential problems with the patient’s
condition and deal with those issues before they become out-of-hand.
FULL
DISCLOSURE LEADS TO BETTER DECISIONS AND OUTCOMES
LifeSpan
Care Managers coordinate high quality health care with full disclosure of the
risks and benefits of any proposed treatment plan. We believe that the
wishes of patient and family are paramount to the decision making process and
that each of our clients deserves the tools and advice needed to understand and
actively control, manage, and work the medical system to achieve an optimal
health outcome.
LIFESPAN’S
KEY SERVICES:
Examples
of some of the major management and coordination services provided by LifeSpan
Care Management include:
- Complete and
accurate communication among patients, families, and practitioners, so
that everybody knows what’s happening and why
- Assistance to
families who aren’t close by or who have unrealistic expectations
regarding treatment outcomes…so that there is someone “on the ground”
focused solely on the patient
- Guidance for
patients with complex medical problems through the maze of diagnostic
tests, appointments with specialists, and treatment options
- The LifeSpan GuardianKeyTM, a portable USB flash drive containing your personal password-protected electronic medical file so that you are in control of your medical records.
BETTER
OUTCOMES
As a
result, our patients regularly experience better outcomes because they can:
- Have all of their
medical records immediately available to every medical professional they
see
- Get to and from
appointments under the watchful eye of a friend, who can listen with a
trained ear to all of the details in a diagnosis and prognosis
- Avoid adverse
drug events caused by lack of coordination among prescribers or errors in
chart interpretation
- Can consult with
a professional who can help them understand the differences among
treatment options.
