<strong>Lee</strong> <strong>Memorial</strong> <strong>Health</strong> <strong>System</strong> Services<br />

Keep You Out of the Hospital<br />

Many people end up in the hospital because of a lack of communication and coordination of care. Patients often do not fully<br />

understand what they have to do to maintain their health. Teamwork and communication can keep patients safe and healthy<br />

at home—right where they want to be. <strong>Lee</strong> <strong>Memorial</strong> <strong>Health</strong> <strong>System</strong> has created a number of programs and services to help<br />

patients avoid hospital stays, including:<br />

House Calls<br />

For chronically ill, medically fragile, elderly or homebound<br />

patients unable to get to the physician’s office, the House Calls<br />

program provides the care they need for recovery. Patients are<br />

visited in their homes and medical needs are assessed. Referrals<br />

for other services—like home health or physical or occupational<br />

therapy—are made, if needed.<br />

Lifeline<br />

Lifeline Medical Alert Service provides independence and peace<br />

of mind for older adults. Help is available with just the press of a<br />

button, 24 hours a day. Simply press your personal help button<br />

and you are connected to one of our caring and highly trained<br />

staff via the two-way voice communicator. Depending on the<br />

help you need, we can call a friend or a neighbor or dispatch<br />

local emergency services.<br />

Telehealth<br />

Telehealth provides daily monitoring of patients. Information<br />

from a scale, a blood pressure cuff and a pulse oximeter is<br />

transmitted daily to a central monitoring station where it is<br />

reviewed by registered nurses to determine if additional care<br />

is required. The Telehealth program combines technology and<br />

high-quality medical attention to provide patients the care they<br />

require right in their own home.<br />

Geriatric Care Management CHOICES<br />

Geriatric Care Management CHOICES is the <strong>Lee</strong> <strong>Memorial</strong> <strong>Health</strong><br />

<strong>System</strong> program that enables seniors to remain independent<br />

and in their own home while providing peace of mind to<br />

adult children who live throughout the country. Geriatric Care<br />

Management CHOICES licensed professionals will:<br />

• Accompany client to physician appointments and report to<br />

families<br />

• Develop a care plan with input from family members and<br />

physicians, which includes a complete medical, social, safety and<br />

nutritional evaluation<br />

• Coordinate and oversee the care plan to be followed by all those<br />

in connection with the care of the patient<br />

• Arrange for in-home services<br />

• Coordinate the delivery of medications, meals, medical<br />

equipment, etc.<br />

These programs and services help keep patients on track, but<br />

patients also have to take an active role and be accountable for<br />

managing their own health. Studies show that nearly a quarter of<br />

patients discharged from the hospital will return within a 30-day<br />

period. A majority of these readmissions are avoidable. Teamwork<br />

and communication are key to enhancing prevention efforts and<br />

increasing patient safety and wellness.<br />
