What Is a Concierge Transitional Care Visit?
A Concierge Transitional Care Visit is a physician-led medical visit designed for patients who have recently been discharged from a hospital or other acute-care setting and need additional medical attention during the transition to home or another care setting.
Depending on the patient's individual needs, the visit may include review of the recent hospitalization, medication reconciliation, assessment of current symptoms and medical concerns, review of discharge instructions, coordination with existing healthcare providers, and development of an appropriate follow-up plan.

Where Does the Visit Take Place?
Our Concierge Transitional Care Visits are designed to provide convenient medical care during the transition after hospitalization.
Depending on the patient's circumstances and eligibility, visits may be provided in the patient's home.
Our goal is to make the transition as convenient as possible while maintaining appropriate medical coordination with the patient's existing healthcare providers.
Your Existing Primary Care Physician Remains Part of Your Care Team
Dignity Extensivists is not intended to replace your established primary care physician or specialists.
Instead, our transitional care model is designed to work alongside your existing healthcare team during the period immediately following hospitalization.
With appropriate patient authorization, we can help communicate relevant information and recommendations with your primary care physician and specialists.
We help connect the pieces of your healthcare journey.
Convenient Options for Required Laboratory Testing
When laboratory testing is clinically appropriate, patients have options.
Visit a Laboratory
Patients may choose to visit a laboratory location themselves for ordered testing.
Our current laboratory partner is Quest Diagnostics.
Have Blood Drawn at Home
For patients who prefer the convenience of having laboratory specimens collected at home, a separate private-duty nurse visit may be arranged for blood collection.
The nurse can collect the appropriate specimen at the patient's home and deliver the sample to the laboratory for processing.
Please note: The private-duty nursing blood-draw visit is a separate service and may involve a separate fee.
