Before the move.
Discuss the destination, anticipated discharge date and wound-care needs with Gateway. We help identify the relevant clinical partner and the records needed to review the next step. Appointments are confirmed directly with the responsible team.
What needs to follow the patient.
- Current clinical orders and the discharge or transfer summary.
- Names and contact details for the treating clinicians and receiving team.
- Supply needs, responsible suppliers and outstanding requests.
- Follow-up arrangements, transportation needs and the person coordinating them.
After discharge.
Gateway helps connect the receiving practice, facility or home-health team with the information needed for follow-up. Patient and family questions about arrangements should have a clear contact. Changes in condition are directed to the treating clinician.
