    .1.

    Think of other educational activities that would be appropriate for each team

    member.

    2. Suppose you are organizing health programmes for (a) the teenagers, (b) the

    elderly, and (c) the farmers in your community.

    3. What would be the responsibility of each health team member in each of these

    programmes?

    If there is a health programme for teenager’s community health workers can educate them with basic
    health care, and other health information, nurses can also have a sex education for the teenagers. A
    programme for elderly can be handled by the nurses, so they can examine the health of the elderlies.
    For a programme for the farmers in a community, the community social worker can provide assistants
    to them, and chw’s to educated them with basic health care like first aid. While the dispensers would
    provide medications for the sick.

    4. What would be the health education duties of each member?

    5. How should other community workers be involved in such programmes

    The healthcare team, regardless of whether you’re treated at a large academic institution or a small,
    rural private practice, is the group of professionals who contribute to your care and treatment as a
    patient. Typical members of a healthcare team are a doctor and a registered nurse. In some cases, there
    might be a Nurse Practitioner instead of or as well as a doctor. In others, physical therapists,
    occupational therapists, and social workers may be part of the team. Office managers also play an
    important role in the healthcare team.

    The Community Care Team works with patients and their health care providers to improve patient
    health conditions after their hospital stay. Specifically, the team helps ensure patients have a smooth
    transition from hospital to home, learn to manage their illness and feel confident in doing so on their
    own. Our Community Care Team is a comprehensive support system that includes a Community Health
    Worker, Community Health Nurse and Community Social Worker that are trained, certified and
    experienced.

    The Community Health Worker supports lifestyle and community service needs, such as arranging for
    transportation to appointments, establishing food, financial and housing assistance, coordinating home
    health care worker, accessing senior programs and helping with proper diet management. The
    Community Health Nurse supports the physical health of patients, including assessing their health during
    their first home visit, organizing their medication list, providing information to their health care
    providers and monitoring their progress. Some patients may need additional emotional support after
    their hospital stay. The Community Social Worker supports their mental health wellbeing by assessing
    their anxiety symptoms, providing informal counseling and making referrals to behavioral health
    providers. The Community Care Team assists patients with solving personal issues that interfere with
    medical compliance, providing medication-reconciliation, instructing chronic disease management and
    disease-specific education, connecting to community health resources, including primary care, specialist
    providers and social service agencies.

    Our efforts have resulted in ...

    Reduced hospital readmission rates at seven, 30 and 60 days post patient discharge

    Service satisfaction ratings raging from moderate to very satisfied from 100 percent of patients

    Patients reporting greater access to quality health care

    The Team Approach

    Our team of nurses and health professionals work with you and your patients to ensure their hospital to
    home transition is a smooth process. Our approach teaches patients how to effectively manage their
    chronic conditions.

    Together we can:

    Improve health behaviors and outcomes

    Increase treatment plan compliance

    Decrease preventable hospitalizations

    Reduce high costs of care

    Address any social barriers

    Hospital-to-Home Transition

    Within days of your patient leaving the hospital, a Community Health Nurse and a Community Health
    Worker visit the patient at home to assess their physical health, lifestyle and community resource needs.

    Our team then meets with your patient to identify goals and create a health action plan that supports
    their health and fits their lifestyle. Our team then relays the plan to you for your approval.

    In the Program
    Patients, who qualify to enroll, work with our team for thirty to ninety days depending on their health
    action plan. During this time, our team regularly meets with your patient and is also available as a
    resource to you and your staff.

    services.
