WELCOME
TO TEAM PRISM;
TO THE FIRST STEP IN ADVOCATING FOR YOUR SELF CARE AT-HOME
Did you know that within the next 10 years the population of Medicare aged beneficiaries is expected to grow 30% and include nearly 73 million lives? Because Nearly 90% of Medicare aged beneficiaries want to stay in their home, having a lack of access to the appropriate medical supplies, results in greater pain and suffering, and prolonged illness. Access to these supplies and service from our team is essential to achieving the best possible outcomes for patients who want to focus on their health while in the comfort of their own home.
We know that the continuum of care doesn’t end at the entrance to a physician’s practice, specialty office, or surgery center. At-home self-care is becoming an increasingly desirable option for serving the growing elderly population beyond group accommodations such as clinics and nursing homes—as well for affordable recovery outside the hospital. Having quality home medical supplies and equipment can aid in the recapture of patient health.
HOME SUPPLY NEEDS EXIST THROUGHOUT THE CONTINUUM OF CARE
