Having a parent leave hospital can be overwhelming, particularly when you live away, have work or family commitments, or simply can't be there to coordinate everything yourself.
Medications may have changed. Prescriptions need organising. Follow-up appointments may be required. The GP and pharmacy need to know what has happened.
Nest can help coordinate the transition.
Hospital to Home
Contact Nest before or around the time of discharge and we can help organise:
review of medication changes
medications and prescriptions for home
liaison with the community pharmacy
an accurate, up-to-date medication list
medication education and explanations
GP and healthcare-provider communication
relevant follow-up appointments
medication-related issues requiring review
follow-up once your parent is home.
With appropriate consent, the nominated family member can be kept informed throughout the process.
You can receive a clear summary of what has changed, what has been organised and what needs to happen next.
One point of contact.
Specialist pharmacist oversight.
A safer transition home.
