Michelle is an outstanding case manager for her patients. This specific story proves how her persistence, advocating and utilizing team members provided the patient with positive outcomes.
Our patient returned home from hospital after a low potassium level, on Lasix with no potassium supplement. Michelle called the doctor requesting BMP lab draw to follow up, she received no call back. She called again with no returned call. Then brought to nursing supervisor who attempted to call with no call back, nursing supervisor then involved the marketing team who made visit to physician office the next day. Marketing visit resulted in new orders for labs. With the actions and persistence of Michelle and the entire Fidelity team a re-hospitalization was prevented!
