Home (post discharge)

Home (Post Discharge): Home Phase is being implemented in early 2010

HOME but it’s not the end of the road. It’s the beginning of a new road, and not one that leads back to the hospital. Once the patient returns safely to home they are visited within 24-48 hours after discharge by their Transition Coach to ensure they are comfortable self administering and managing their medications, completing any exercises or therapy related items that were assigned, but most importantly to make sure they can function in the actual home.

Each patient is given the number to the Kissito Care line and the direct number to their Transition Coach. The Kissito Care line is simply a channel for the patient to ask questions related to their transition and care. No medical information or advice is given; however the care line attendant will refer them to a medical doctor should they ask for medical advice.
