Clear instructions
Review the discharge documents and ask the patient to explain the plan in their own words. This identifies unclear or conflicting written instructions.
Navigation after leaving the hospital
Leave the hospital with a plan you understand.
A MedsenX RN navigator helps Haitian patients in the U.S. review existing discharge instructions in Kreyòl, organize follow-up, and work through barriers to completing the next step.
You can request support before leaving the hospital or after arriving home.
Structured follow-through
The first week, without the guesswork.
- 01
Prepare
Before or just after dischargeGather the discharge papers, medication list, treating-team contacts, and follow-up dates already provided.
- 02
Understand
First appointmentReview the written instructions and use teach-back: the patient explains the plan in their own words so unclear or conflicting information can be identified.
- 03
Follow through
The following daysConfirm required appointments, help request an interpreter, track the treating team’s response, and document what remains unresolved so the patient does not quietly abandon the process.
For patients and families
When returning home takes more than a handout.
- An older adult returning home alone
- A diaspora family supporting someone from a distance
- A patient managing several new instructions or medications
- Someone recovering after surgery or a hospital stay
What we help organize
One clear plan for the patient, family, and next care team.
We do not add more noise. We start with what the discharge team already provided and help the patient understand, organize, and follow through.
Medication understanding and access
Confirm the patient understands the written list and obtained the medicines; route discrepancies to the prescriber or pharmacist.
Appointments and services
Create a simple next-step checklist, confirm required appointments, help request an interpreter, and track whether the authorized team responds.
Warning signs and questions
Review warning signs documented in the discharge plan, whom to call, and when to seek emergency care.
Language is not a small detail after discharge.
We begin with Haitian patients, offering RN-led navigation in Kreyòl that respects culture and family realities. We help patients prepare questions and request interpreter support from their treating team.
Family can participate with the patient’s consent.
A trusted person can help take notes, track actions, and understand ownership—without receiving automatic access to private information.
Service boundaries
Navigation does not replace the treating team.
RN-led navigation helps patients understand existing instructions and coordinate follow-up. Diagnosis, prescribing, medication changes, and clinical decisions remain with the patient’s treating professionals.
- We do not invent or replace hospital instructions
- Unclear or conflicting written instructions are sent to the authorized prescriber, pharmacist, or treating team for clarification
- We confirm patient location for emergencies and local resources
- MedsenX is not an emergency service
Prepare for the appointment
Keep four things nearby.
- Discharge papers or summary
- Every medicine, supplement, tea, herb, and traditional remedy to disclose to the clinical team
- Names and contacts for doctors, clinics, pharmacies, or labs
- Questions the patient and family want to ask
Do not leave the first days at home without a clear plan.
Tell us what support you need. Our team will contact you to discuss RN-led navigation in Kreyòl and availability before support begins. Post-discharge navigation referred by your hospital or clinic is at no charge to you; any other support is agreed, with its cost, before it begins.
