PHYSICIANS & CAREGIVERS

Votiva Health helps physicians and their teams identify patients who may need advanced illness planning counseling through the use of proven clinical screening algorithms, and to help determine the best timing for treatment options. As an outside resource, we often identify candidates earlier, resulting in a wider use of resources and strengthening continuity of care for patients, families and caregivers.

We recognize the time required to support patients through this challenging transition. Although hospice is a well-documented care process, it is often misunderstood. As a result, the value and benefits of hospice are either unrealized or under-used. We support physicians and their health care teams by directly assisting patients and families with counseling and educational resources for decision-making and appropriate advanced illness planning choices.

As a partner with physicians, our structured integrated program is designed to lesson the demands of their workloads. This includes providing educational points and assistance for advanced illness conversations with their patients and patient families. We support their efforts to ensure ongoing quality of care and appropriate care levels for disease and pain management control. We also help them deliver more informed health care to their patients, providing the patients and families with a better understanding and alignment of their choices and options around advanced illness issues.

Votiva Health offers in-depth information for patients and caregivers support through its web portal My Care Community (www.mycarecommunity.org). Through this interactive site, we provide a community of online information as well as peer and professional support to patients, family members and caregivers.
