At HouseCall MD, Dr. Shahriar Jarchi and the team offer post-discharge management for patients being sent home from the hospital or rehabilitation facility.

Post-discharge management is one of the patient-centered services available at HouseCall MD.
Being sent home from the hospital or a rehabilitation facility is a complex process, requiring communication between the hospital care team, your primary care provider, and any service providers you need to help you at home.
Unfortunately, any cracks in communication may prevent patients from getting the care they need once they get home. Without proper follow-up care and treatments, patients are at risk of getting sick and returning to the hospital.
