Organ transplantation has become seemingly commonplace in our society. In 2010, nearly 29,000 adults received lifesaving organ transplants, with first year associated costs ranging from $226,000 for a kidney transplant to more than $900,000 for an intestinal transplant (UNOS, 2011). American Health's experienced transplant specialist team offers a different approach to patient care, ongoing support, and service to our clients. Unlike other providers, our Nurse Case Managers engage with all key participants as early in the process as possible to assist in the following areas:
- Education
- Adequate preparation and planning
- Effective communication
- Minimization of future complications through health management
- Follow-up and reporting
Solutions and Support
In order to serve the long-term needs of the patient, we maintain a dedicated group of transplant specialists who coordinate with the medical team through the entire care process. This same team works even closer with the patient, the patient's family, and support network to provide comprehensive assistance in all areas relating to:
- Ongoing education
- Medical history
- Medications
- Development of support systems
- Lifestyle changes and behavior modifications
- Financial options
- A comprehensive approach to patient-focused support and life management, placing patient needs above procedure requirements.
- Dedicated Transplant Case Managers to interact with patients and families, offering a complete support network.
- An extensive patient education and support program to achieve and maintain a healthier lifestyle, thereby reducing future medical costs.
- By creating healthier patients, we have a positive impact on claims dollars.
