PURPOSE OF PROGRAM
The purpose of this program is to help you better manage your health.
PROGRAM DETAILS
A specially trained Nurse Case Manager from TMC to Home will meet with you while you are in the hospital and will be in touch with you within 24 hours of your discharge home. During this call, the Nurse Case Manager will check to see how you are doing, whether you have successfully obtained your medications, and if you have doctor visits arranged. The Nurse Case Manager will provide valuable education to help you and your family have a greater understanding of your disease and how to manage it. They can prepare you for your doctor visits to help you get the most out of them and can connect you to valuable community resources as needed.
Overall, TMC to Home can help you better manage your disease which leads to fewer disease related complications, fewer hospitalizations, lower out of pocket health related costs, and greater overall health. The Nurse Case Manager is available to you without any additional cost.
