The Total Joint Program coordinator will:

· Assist with planning your needs at home, including identifying your “coach”
· Coordinate your discharge plan to home, or if indicated, outpatient services or subacute facility
· Assist you in getting answers to insurance questions.
· Act as your liaison throughout the course of treatment from pre-op through post discharge.
· Answer questions and coordinate your hospital care with Total Joint team members.
· Provide education times pre-surgery, in-hospital and preparing for discharge
· Answer questions and direct you to specific resources within the hospital.

You may call the Total Joint Care coordinator (between the hours of 8 a.m. and 4 p.m.) before surgery to ask questions or share any concerns about your pending surgery.
