What is the overall benefit of having a RN Advocate?

Decrease hospitalizations and Emergency Room visits
Provide best symptom control
Enhance overall health
Increase safety in your home environment
Promote dignity and independence
Who Pays for Independent RN Patient Advocates?
Independent patient advocates are not yet covered by health insurance. They are hired directly by patients and their loved ones to provide individualized support and guidance that the traditional healthcare system is not always equipped to handle.
Why not just rely on the patient advocate that works at the hospital?
Everyone employed by a health care company is limited to what they can accomplish for patients and families outside of the health care environment. Hospital/Clinic-employed patient advocates, navigators, social workers, and discharge planners are no different. They have heavy caseloads and work long hours with limited resources. Independent patient advocates, however, work one on one with patients and loved ones to explore options and improve communication and education.
