their patients’ aftercare habits and increase
their quality service ratings.

Case Studies
Judy
Gender: Female
Age: late 50s
Connection: Mother to a child
who had a heart transplant
and has been a patient herself
What worked in the past?
The personal connection between doctors, extended stay patient, and nurses has been great
for her. It became a real community dedicated to the wellbeing of her daughter. She and
her daughter used MyChart to show the multiple doctors they were in contact with what
medications the other practitioners had her daughter on and keep everything in one place.

What would Judy like to see in aftercare?
The family should be included if they will have a large part in the patient’s care, and patients
who aren’t frequent hospital visitors should know what questions to ask.

What would Judy like to see inside of the hospital?
There should be room for family to go and visitors to stay inside of the rooms. There should
also be information about how to take charge of your own care.

How was the communication with the care team?
Fantastic, because she took the initiative and learned how to ask the right questions. After
spending so much time in medical facilities, she has learned how they function and how to
navigate them.

What were some obstacles in aftercare Judy has experienced?
Sometimes, working with a hospice nurse is necessary and other times it is not. She has
experienced both good and bad ones. Also, there needs to be support for people getting out
of surgery since, while she and her daughter did, some people do not have that.

How much access should family or support networks be given?
If it is a child, the parents or guardian should have total access. Otherwise, the patient
should be able to hand pick what information people are given.

Other Comments:
She believes that a patient needs to advocate for themselves and learning how to do that is
really how someone successfully takes charge of their own care.


Judy

“It was a stressful situation during release and it was hard to
remember what the doctor said later.”


Budd

"In the case of the elderly or those patients that cannot properly
take care of themselves, their support networks should be the
focus of the aftercare instruction. Either that, or the family and
loved ones should speci cally have a place to go with their
questions."

Dawn

"They are counting on the people to be independent."


Caleb

“If someone is not pushing you to do your physical therapy, it’s impossible to do.”

“There’s things we don’t understand as patients, but doctors need to know.”
