CareWiseGuides™ provides caregiver-ready recovery guides that hospitals can send home with families. So the person taking care of the patient actually knows what to do.
48 hours after surgery, the bandage began to leak. The caregiver searched through 30 days of paperwork just to find the post-op number. It took two hours to reach the right nurse.
That delay wasn’t a medical failure. It was a caregiver prep failure.
Most families are handed discharge packets and told “call if you need anything.” They go home suddenly responsible for wound care, pain spikes, meds, toileting, mobility — alone.
When caregivers panic, they call nurse lines or go to the ER. That hits satisfaction, experience scores, and readmission metrics.
The first 72 hours at home are critical. Prepared caregivers mean calmer patients, fewer avoidable visits, and safer recovery.
Simple pre-op checklists: home setup, bathroom safety, mobility prep, what to ask before discharge.
Caregivers get exactly what to write down: direct phone numbers, red-flag symptoms, medication timing, positioning/sleeping instructions.
Step-by-step guidance for wound checks, pain management, toileting help, first shower, and when to call vs. when to seek urgent care.
CareWiseGuides™ provides caregiver-ready recovery guides that can be included with discharge instructions for orthopedic procedures. Each guide is written in plain language for family caregivers and can be customized with your hospital’s logo, after-hours phone numbers, and red-flag instructions.
