Tim Grisham: The Lasting Impact of Nurses in Hemophilia Care and Care Continuity
Tim Grisham, Vice President Strategy at Care Continuity, shared Care Continuity’s post on LinkedIn, adding:
“As National Nurses Week comes to a close, I want to recognize a group and one special nurse to my family.
When my son was diagnosed with severe hemophilia as an infant, we didn’t fully understand the amount of time we’d spend in the Children’s Hospital Colorado‘s Emergency Department or at the Hemophilia and Thrombosis Center at the University of Colorado.
The countless nurses that talked to us on the phone during major bleeds, calmed our anxiety, navigated us/kept us away from the ED, provided life altering intravenous infusions, and ultimately trained our now 11 year old how to poke/infuse himself, are life savers.
Like our friend Julie, RNs don’t stop being RNs when they leave work.
Together with Julie, we saved ourselves and our local health systems countless hours, costs, and stress because she was there for us for nearly every joint or muscle bleed he’s ever had, and understood how important it was to receive care at the right time and right place.
She shows up at weekend hemophilia fundraisers, and never made us feel like we were a burden, regardless of what she had going on.
It’s brought us closer and it’s inspired me to work for a wonderful company who partners with nurses every day to make healthcare less stressful and lower cost. Cheers to you!”
Care Continuity, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“To the nurses at every step of the patient’s journey – thank you!
This week we celebrated you, but the truth is the work you do can’t be contained to seven days. You’re the ones holding the thread when a patient moves from hospital to home, from one care team to the next, from a moment of crisis to whatever comes after.
You catch what gets missed. You translate the clinical into the human. You stay late for the phone call that couldn’t wait until morning.
At Care Continuity, we get to see the care transition from a particular vantage point — and what we see, again and again, is that the difference between a smooth handoff and a readmission usually has a nurse’s fingerprints all over it.
So as National Nurses Week comes to a close, we want our partners to know: we see it. We’re grateful for it, and we’re honored to build alongside you.”
