Getting home from hospital guide & tips – H2H2H
H2H2H means Home to Hospital to Home. It’s a Provincial program meant to help improve the patient journey in “transitions of care”.
Going from home or facility to the hospital and back home, back to your shelter, and/or back to your family doctor is a big journey. Our healthcare system does not always transition us behind the scenes very well.
The “My Next Steps” guide can help patients take up their role as the central and key healthcare team member: https://www.albertahealthservices.ca/assets/info/hp/phc/if-hp-phc-phcin-mns.pdf
It’s also important to know your family doctor full name (correct spelling) and which clinic/city they are in. Did you know that? I didn’t. That’s if you even have a family doctor.
Hope this health tid bid helps 🙂
