The importance of pre- and post-operative follow-up on your health
Far too often, pre- or post-operative care is neglected, or we find ourselves completely helpless after a hospital stay.
However, it is essential, for a quick and effective recovery, to make a regular and complete follow-up with health professionals, to cover all or in any case most of our past abilities. Without this, minor or even major complications can occur and have new impacts on your health.
What if a solution made it possible to do follow-ups remotely, thanks to the technological tools that are now part of our lives?
- For critical patients waiting for a procedure, the nurse contacts the patient according to the expectations of the attending physician and validates certain parameters, according to the protocol submitted by the physician.
- For patients discharged from hospital, the nurse contacts the patient via videoconference and follows up according to the protocol submitted by the attending physician.
- Connected devices enable real-time tracking of biometric data and support quickly when needed
- During follow-ups, the nurse adds her notes in the HYGÉE+ application, referring doctors having access to this information at all times.
- Patients also have access to their data in the platform
