Lifeline supports safe patient discharge-July 12th, 2009

Philips Lifeline is an easy to use medical alarm that allows senior or at risk patients to receive fast, expert help – 24 hours a day.  It’s the ideal solution for patients who need additional support to continue living safely and confidently at home.

Lifeline supports your goal of providing a safe patient discharge by:

• Empowering patients with immediate access to help – even if they can’t speak.
• Supporting care plan adherence with programmable reminders for managing multiple medications, diet or exercise guidelines and appointments.
• Giving added comfort and peace of mind to family caregivers.

We are pleased to provide you with an electronic copy of our popular “Is it time for a medical alarm survey?”  This simple tool can help to identify patients whose safety and independence would be enhanced by using a medical alarm.  The survey can be filled out by patients themselves or with the assistance of a caregiver or healthcare professional they trust.  It also contains a valuable money-saving coupon. 

Feel free to print off as many copies as you need or contact us at 1-800-543-3546 and we will provide printed copies.

If you would like to refer a patient, book an in-service or request educational materials, please contact us at the number above or visit www.lifeline.ca.
