Seamless follow-up care is a very complex task, especially when it comes to therapies that require intensive and highly demanding care. Our medical and organizational know-how and overall awareness of the legal requirements can help you coordinate a holistic discharge process of everyone involved in providing care for the patient.
The ideal discharge process for a smooth transition is individual and has to be adapted for each facility.
