Healthy@Home is a step-down service from the Hospital Admission Risk Program (HARP). Telehealth Assistants call participants, when a risk to a consumer’s home or health status is flagged, this is escalated to the Care Coordinator who acts accordingly, thus reducing the risk of an unplanned hospital admission.
The Care Coordinator establishes trusted relationships with participants and on the participant’s behalf, bridges boundaries between services. The Care Coordinator will support clinical management within scope of practice, promote self-management and support their participants and their carer’s to navigate and access relevant services. The role will involve establishing effective and collaborative relationships with the HARP team and other service providers. As the participants needs are diverse and often complex, there will be a strong focus on service development and participant centered care.
