How Can Healthcare Navigation Services Help Seniors?
Streamlined Appointment Scheduling
Professional help while navigating the healthcare system can ensure that seniors are seeing the right healthcare professionals at the right time. With appointment scheduling assistance, seniors and their families can feel confident with an additional layer of support on their path to treatment and recovery.
Better Communication
Between Providers
Care professionals focusing on care coordination also make sure no information slips through the cracks. Many seniors take multiple medications and visit several care providers and specialists to manage their health. Our healthcare system traditionally relies on patients relaying information and updates about their care from one provider to the next. With care coordination, this responsibility moves to a professional committed to making all care smooth and transparent.
Improved Decision-Making Processes
For many conditions, there are several different courses of a treatment that a senior can choose from or combine. Weighing all the options to make a final decision can be an overwhelming experience, and a care coordinator can ease this by discussing each option’s pros and cons with seniors and their loved ones to empower them to make the decision that’s best for them.
