In this lesson, you will learn how to effectively follow up with patients after an escalation using the Cares Connect methodology. We'll explore common types of patient concerns—including discharge instruction confusion, medication questions, follow-up care access, service disappointments, and urgent needs—and provide practical communication strategies and tools to address each scenario. You'll learn how to use techniques like Teach-Back, collaborate with care teams such as pharmacy or case management, and make warm, informed introductions using notes from the Cares Connect team and the electronic health record. By the end of this lesson, you'll be better prepared to provide safe, empathetic, and responsive care during post-discharge follow-up calls. (Video duration 6mins: 32s)
