Connecting Patients to the Care They Need

Many patients in our Emergency Departments (EDs) aren’t sick enough to be admitted as inpatients but aren’t well enough to go home without additional care. That’s why we’re piloting a new resource, the ED/Hospital Navigator program at Mount Carmel West, to help potential observation patients get the care they need in the most appropriate setting and to help patients get home sooner.

ED/Hospital Navigator

A dedicated physician or nurse practitioner (ED Navigator) will be in the ED to support and guide observation patients to the most appropriate level of care. When a patient is identified as a potential observation patient, there will be a coordinated approach among the ED Navigator, ED physician and case manager to partner with the patient and his or her family to create a personalized care plan.

Mount Carmel Health Partners works with employers to identify and address employee health risks before they result in costly healthcare claims. By partnering with our workplace health team, employees get access to a personal health profile which provides our team with needed information to identify unhealthy lifestyle characteristics, modifiable health risks and design programs focused on educating and improving the health of employees. The portal aggregates employee data into a "health snapshot" that allows employers to compare the health of employees to others in the market, identify specific health risks present in the workforce and trends and improvements over time in the health of the workforce. A wall-mounted Health Information Center alerts employees to pertinent health sisues and provides details regarding available health promotion activities and programs. Our workplace health team will also coordinate on-site screenings, body fat measurements and health education seminars.

Mount Carmel Health Partners also provides a whole array of occupational health services including care for work-related injuries or illness, exams, substance abuse and DOT tests, medical surveillance, fitness testing, immunizations and testing, and even onsite services like nurse and physician coverage, mammograms and drug testing.
