When you are working with Avatar Health, you have access to an entire network of support staff. Each patient receives a customized care plan. Your services may involve everyone who can offer the complete care you need to regain strength and health. We facilitate services and communication between:

  • Patients and caregivers
  • Physician and cardiologist

Collaboration between your healthcare providers and support staff is critical during your recovery.

This well-rounded approach is centered on the unique needs of each patient. You’ll work with our team to find the perfect fit that enables you to recover and enjoy the best life possible after hospitalization for COPD.

Ongoing Health Monitoring – At Home

This care plan is based on a research-based approach, using holistic strategies to improve your outcome. Each COPD plan is focused on symptom management, health improvements, and early intervention to prevent hospital readmission.

Here’s an overview of what your COPD plan might include:

  • Vital sign monitoring
  • Breathing techniques
  • Diet and exercise recommendations
  • Medication management
  • Smoking cessation support

This approach prevents life-threatening problems and reduces the risk of hospital visits by focusing on early interventions and preventive services. We prioritize self-care (assisted by caregivers when needed) with ongoing care and services from expert medical providers.

Why At-Home Health Monitoring is Critical for COPD Patients

The ideal approach for COPD management is early intervention to prevent hospital readmission. Through ongoing health monitoring, we can implement immediate medical support and manage symptoms to avoid the need for a patient to spend more time in the hospital.

Our team uses at-home health monitoring to check your progress, even when healthcare providers aren’t on-site. Additionally, we help with other services and support to improve overall lifestyle and reduce potential complications.

Your COPD plan might include:

  • Monitoring vital signs
  • Medication management
  • Breathing techniques
  • Diet and exercise planning
  • Support for smoking cessation

Ultimately, the goal is to minimize the risk of life-threatening issues that can affect COPD patients. In addition, through prevention and early intervention, we can reduce the chances of you needing to go back to the hospital.

Since patient independence is always a priority, we focus on patient and caregiver education through a self-care plan. This approach is supplemented with ongoing services from an experienced medical team.
