Our focus: Improving families' experiences in the hospital and at home

Family caregivers can influence a loved one’s hospital experience and health outcome — but only if they understand the power they have and how to use it. We invite you to join Caregiving Pathways on our mission to:

  

  • Teach family caregivers how to improve patient health

  • Decrease the cost of hospital care by reducing hospital days, ER visits, and preventable readmissions

  • Enhance the patient experience

  • Understand shifting care priorities

​

 

 

Family caregivers are extra hands, eyes, and ears that currently exist in virtually every patient room. Engage this influential population to improve inpatient health outcomes and reduce the cost of care — without disrupting care delivery.

A solution so simple, there’s no disruption

Clinicians can learn critical patient-specific details

These family members can also alert care delivery teams to patient-specific situations, such as depression, dementia, substance abuse, or hearing loss, that aren’t readily apparent but significantly affect patients’ ability to manage their condition and hospital experience.

Family caregivers can prepare to provide follow-up care at home

Patients leave the hospital earlier than ever, especially because of COVID-19. But the family members and friends who care for patients at home after a hospital stay are often unprepared to manage the medical/nursing tasks they become responsible for handling.

 

  • We help hospitals prepare family caregivers to provide safe care at home.

  • We work directly with individual family caregivers to prepare them to provide care at home, look for red flags, and prevent complications.

Volunteer Activities

​

When Beth's father was hospitalized for his first surgery, she wasn’t aware that family members could have a role during a loved one's hospitalization. Several hospital stays later, it became clear that being actively involved in the hospital stay makes a significant difference in a loved one’s hospital experience, health outcome, and overall cost of care.

​

Beth is focused on creating a family caregiver culture that will drive improved patient outcomes and help families care for a family member during a health crisis and the final stages of life.

Supporting family caregivers is good for individuals, families, and virtually every organization because the 53 million family caregivers in the United States are everywhere, and they all need guidance and instruction.

 

Beth is interested in working with any individuals or organizations aiming to integrate family caregiver support into everyday business and everyday life.
