Enhance your Patient Care Plan in your Provider’s Directed Care Program
• Patients in a Directed Care Program will have a Care Template provisioned to their Care at Home account from their Provider. Patients can enlarge their care plan by adding additional elements (e.g., medications, supplements, and other health elements) to create a broader care plan, but cannot change or edit any of the Care Template elements provisioned to them by the Care at Home Provider.
If you add any element(s) to your care plan, your Provider will NOT BE NOTIFIED if your new care plan elements have any alert notifications associated to them.
Independent Care Plan for Consumers
• Consumers who are not participating in a “Provider’s Directed Care Program” may independently create, add and edit their own care plan for self-care using Care at Home from Lifeguard™. Once a consumer installs Care at Home, they may create their own customized care plan in Care at Home which can include – Conditions/Diagnoses, Medication/Supplements, Symptoms/mood, Vitals, and Wellness.
Managing regimen elements in your care plan
Whether you are a Patient in a Provider’s Directed Care Program or an independent consumer, the first two steps in the process for accessing your care plan to manage your regimen elements, which you independently use for your own self-care, is the same:
-
Login to your Care at Home app.
-
At the bottom of your home screen you will see a few icons, including “Plan”. Tap on the Plan icon to open the Care Plan Screen. (If you are in a Provider’s Directed Care Program, you will see elements of your provisioned Care Template listed. If you are a consumer, new to Care at Home, the screen will not have any entries.)
To CREATE/ADD elements to your care plan:
-
After tapping on Plan icon, tap on the “+” sign at the top right of the Care Plan screen to open the Regimen screen.
-
On the Regimen screen, multiple options are presented for you to independently build and add your own self-care elements to your care plan. (Please note that if you are in a Provider’s Directed Care Program, and any new care plan elements that you add have any alert notifications associated to them, your Provider will NOT BE NOTIFIED if any of your independently created care plan elements generate an alert.)
-
Each element presented on the Regimen screen has unique workflows for adding to your care plan for your own independent self-care using Care at Home.
• General guidance: Tap the regimen listed that you wish to add, then tap the arrows at the right to build each selection for that regimen. Tap “Save” for each selection, then tap Next until that regimen is completed. After all selections are made for that regimen, tap “Save” on the Summary screen.
• For detailed guidance on how to add specific Regimen elements to your care plan, please search the Knowledge base for the following individual topics: “Add Condition/Diagnosis”; “Add Symptoms/Mood”; “Add Vitals”; “Add Medication/Supplements”; and, “Add Wellness”.
