On Site Primary Care Benefits
Patients receive one-on-one tailored care in their own home. This reduces the need for coordination of travel, time spent in waiting room and doctors’ offices and the financial impact on families to coordinate these visits. In-home primary care also results in an improved quality of life by increasing social interaction in the home and minimizing the stress associated with the disruption in daily routine often associated with travel from home to and from the doctors’ office.
In addition to these benefits realized by the patient, the patient’s families also benefit from our in-home care model. No longer will family members be forced to schedule time off from work to coordinate transportation for their loved one to attend a doctor’s appointment. However, we do actively encourage family members to take an active role in the care of their loved ones. Family members are encouraged to attend our on-site visits and through our portal will have access to patient care summaries and other clinical and financial data when appropriate.
The benefits of in-home primary care also extend beyond the scope of patients and their family members and provide important services to the care providers within the facilities where our patients live. Our in-home model of care facilitates strong relationships between caregivers and medical providers, resulting in increased continuity of care and clear goals of care. In addition, our model reduces the burden on providers to arrange transportation for our patients. Electronic scheduling and reminders of upcoming visits aid in efficiency and coordination of care between our providers and daily caregivers. Also, through our portal we provide a means of direct communication to our care teams for patient related questions and scheduling.
