Care Transition

Coastal delivers an Integrated Health Solution that addresses the need for a more effective approach to continuing patient care at home.

Our approach focuses primarily on:

  • Coordinating Care across the full episode of care; Facility to Home
  • Patient and Caregiver education about the Plan of Care and success factors
  • Accountability throughout the care continuum

With our experience in the managed care and provider arena, we have developed an innovative Transition of Care Program that addresses all the following causes for readmissions:

  • Poor Accountability for Patient Follow-up
  • Lack of Coordination with Physician Follow-up
  • Insufficient Patient Education
  • Inadequate IT systems to Track Patient Care
  • Lack of Preventive Care and Patient Monitoring
  • Medication Errors
  • Poor Communication with Patient, Caregivers, and Physicians
