Introducing Integrated Care
In line with our new name, Navian Hawaii is proud to announce the expansion of our services to include a new Integrated Care Program. Designed to offer specialized support for patients with serious illnesses, Integrated Care provides patients with emotional and physical relief before hospice care is needed.
More than just another medical service, Integrated Care offers a timely solution to the vicious cycle of unmet care needs. For many seriously ill patients, the challenge of living alone with limited resources and caregiver support makes it difficult for them to navigate the complexities of the healthcare system, which can result in missed doctors’ appointments and insufficient care. When a medical crisis related to their condition occurs, patients are forced to call 911, enter the ER, be admitted to the hospital, and eventually move to a post-acute care facility—all of which costs money. When they finally do return home, the cycle may inevitably continue.
The purpose of Integrated Care is to stop this cycle before it starts. Complete with a Nurse Practitioner and Social Worker, our Integrated Care Program alleviates the pain and challenges patients face when living with a serious condition and can end the vicious cycle of unmet care needs that often leads to emergency room visits, hospitalization and rehabilitation.
Through our new program, patients with serious but treatable medical conditions have access to a wide range of services that provide emotional and physical relief, including:
- Social Worker and Nurse Practitioner
- Advance care planning
- Meetings about patient and family goals of care
- Emotional support
- Assistance with paperwork
- Disease process monitoring and education
- Community education
- Referrals to additional community resources
