Transitional Home Care
Thanks to St. Tammany Health System’s Transitional Home Care program, it doesn’t have to be.
With help from our team of specialists, we’ll follow your care after your hospital discharge. This will involve comprehensive home visits and virtual visits from our nurse practitioners and registered nurses. The goal: to ensure you continue to improve and avoid a return trip to the hospital, as well as to give you and your loved ones some welcome peace of mind.
Under the umbrella of transitional care are disease-specific programs aimed at treating chronic diseases such as heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (CPOD) and sepsis. These care programs are tailored to provide focused care at home to bridge the gap between an inpatient stay and your usual care providers.
Please click on your program of interest below or call St. Tammany Health System’s Transitional Home Care team at (985) 871-5955 for help determining your next steps.
Traditional transitional care centers on post-hospital home care. It is offered to patients following a hospital stay to ensure a smooth transition from your hospital stay to your regular home life.
The Transitions of Care COPD program at St. Tammany Health System is a home-care-based program providing specialized, post-discharge care to help patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD) manage their conditions.
Remote patient monitoring uses digital devices such as a blood pressure cuff, pulse oximeter, scale and tablet to collect daily vital signs. These vital signs are monitored daily by a registered nurse to detect early warning signs of a CHF or COPD exacerbation.
Vitals signs are transmitted to St Tammany Transitional Care office and reviewed 7 days a week. Any abnormal findings are address by one of our nurse practitoners.
Patient’s vital signs can be seen in MyChart by the patient and other healthcare providers. Remote patient monitoring is delivired to your front door and is a quick and simple set up.
