Server - It’s recommended that you choose white wine with your meal.   Patron – I’ve never had wine. I know nothing about it. I’m not sure which one to choose.   Server – I have 20 other customers to take care of. I’ll leave the list of white wines with you. Just let me know when you’ve made your choice.   Substitute Case Manager for Server, Patient for Patron, and Post-Acute Provider for Wine. This conversation happens thousands of times every day in hospitals.   Most hospitalized patients (who need post-acute care) do not understand the terms home health, skilled nursing facility, or inpatient rehabilitation. However, they are expected to choose their favorite post-acute provider quickly prior to discharge.   Doesn’t it make sense for patients to understand what level of post-acute care will benefit them before giving a list of providers?   GuidingPatients helps patients and their loved ones better understand each level of care.

Very helpful! Guiding Patients is a great resource and I have shared with many case managers.
