The TLC Difference
The nation’s most comprehensive transitional care resource
TLC’s growing list of more than 68,000 registered U.S. care providers assures families and hospital case management professionals have the most complete and accurate database search available in the industry. Service and amenity data from care providers is updated quarterly giving patients, families and hospitals the most thorough report.
Powerful, yet user-friendly resources
All of TLC’s tools are simple and easy-to-use, while providing a substantial amount of customized information and automating existing time-consuming processes. TLC’s tools generate reports and results quickly and securely on demand.
Our philosophical approach
We believe having access to a comprehensive database on demand is critical to your success and your patient’s satisfaction. We exceed industry standards by including providers at no charge, which ensures we have the most comprehensive data.
For Hospitals
Care Finder-Pro connects hospitals with an online network of more than 68,000 providers. Case providers have access to detailed provider information and can quickly connect with providers to secure patient placement. Results include lowered length of stay and time per discharge plus increased patient and employee satisfaction.
The Care Finder-Pro system securely stores and manages all patient documentation electronically for distribution when requested. The result is a transitional care workflow that is quick, secure and accurate. Hospital staff now can spend more time with clinical responsibilities and less time with clerical paperwork.
Closing the Case and Management Reports
Information from the queried facilities are now handled electronically assuring an accurate and timely response. Once the patient has selected the post-acute provider, the Planner “clicks" or sends a one-page fax, and the Care Finder-Pro™ system notifies all the providers that the case is closed. It also notifies the physician where her/his patient now resides and prepares management reports on the provider and planner’s activity. The results are improved hospital/provider relationships, better physician communication, and objective management reporting.
For Home Care Providers and Facilities
TLC believes in building the most comprehensive database of providers as possible, which is why we include all registered providers in our database free of charge. Facilities and providers are encouraged to request and complete our provider survey to introduce consumers and hospital workers to your services.
For Consumers, Discharge at Admission
A consumer friendly version of the search tool is available to all patients via TLC's family programs. on-line search tools. Care Interpreter helps users determine the appropriate type of care they need. Facility Finder identifies facilities that meet the family's quality of care needs and quality of life wants. Home Care Finder helps identify resources for patients who are in need of care, but prefer to return home.
Through a series of questions, the online systems help identify options that match clinical needs with lifestyle wants. Together these tools increase the family's post acute involvement and in turn, patient satisfaction.
The Family Programs often are embedded directly in a hospital's Web site, or can be accessed directly through TLC's Family Programs.
