"Having some involvement currently in post-hospitalization telemedicine care, patient involvement in their care is key so I have a strong sense of their home life and measures that need to be put in place. A couple of months ago, a patient was being discharged after double knee replacement surgery. In the days prior to discharge, I had two meetings with him to discuss mobility around his house and therapy he would be doing on his own. I asked if he had stairs in the house he needed to climb or any other mobility challenges. Based on this, he and I set forth a great rehab plan on his home life. Had I just set a plan for him, chances would have been high that the patient would need to be hospitalized again or be seen in our emergency room."
