Patient-Centered and Care Team Focused
Doctors, nurses, family members and other care providers need to work together to deliver the best care and support possible to their patient or family member. Being part of a quality care team requires having access to the vital information that could reduce injury, increase quality of care and save lives.
According to Medicare.gov, one in five Medicare patients, approximately 2.6 million seniors, discharged from the hospital are readmitted within 30 days. Not only are this readmissions costing Medicare over $26 billion every year but there is a price families and other caregivers pay. The findings suggest before patients go home they are not given enough information on how to take care of themselves and stay healthy. The researchers suggest that a few simple things, such as scheduling a doctor's appointment, give patients a list of all their medications, explain what to do at home and where to call if they run into problems, can help.
However, to ensure the best care and support possible is delivered to patients, doctors, nurses, and other care providers should work together with family members as the patient’s quality care team. Each member of this team requires access to the vital information that could reduce injury, increase quality of care and save lives. e-CYREN makes that access possible. e-CYREN’s centralized communication and electronic record keeping module provides a single location to keep not only participating physicians informed, but also other care team members who have the need and the right to know a patient's status or medical history. e-CYREN is also available to patients, hospitals, physicians, nurses, guardians, senior living communities, nursing homes, and patient advocates to help reduce medical errors and improve care received while transitioning from one care setting to another, including when transitioning from home.
