On-Going Care and Follow-Up Visits

Through our network of services, we stay in close contact with you and with services in your community that join in our partnership for your care.

On-Going Care

On-Going Care

Post-hospital care plans may include return home with in-home services or equipment, placement in an intermediate care facility, or other arrangements needed at time of discharge.
Home Care Options

Home Care Options

Members of our nursing staff and social services staff work with patients and families to arrange for appropriate care and equipment to follow the patient beyond their hospital care.
Therapy Options

Therapy Options

Our goal for your therapy is to maximize your functional capabilities. Our professionals in a number of rehabilitative therapies are trained to identify factors contributing to your functional limitations and to develop treatment programs designed to enhance your ability to function in appropriate environments.
Transfer Your Prescriptions to Our Pharmacy

Transfer Your Prescriptions to Our Pharmacy

You can get all the benefits of filling your prescriptions at a UI Health Care Pharmacy. Use one simple online form to transfer your prescriptions. UI Health Care doctors and pharmacists work from the same records, keeping you safe and making sure your medications are doing exactly what they’re intended to do.

Follow-Up Care Options

Your UI Health Care physician will likely discuss the need for one or more follow up visits to check on the progress you're making following a procedure or treatment for a condition.

We will make every effort to have you schedule your follow up visit as you leave the clinic or end your hospital stay. You'll also be asked if you would like a reminder phone call two to three days before your next scheduled appointment.

Contacting Your Health Care Team

We encourage you to ask questions and to make certain you understand the information being shared with you by your care givers.

Medical Records Request

You have the right to review, on request, a copy of your medical records and/or receive a copy of your medical records for reasonable copying charges.

Consider Using MyChart

We recommend you consider subscribing to MyChart, a program that allows you to access your medical records securely on-line. You'll find MyChart to be a convenient way to track your appointments, schedule new appointments, contact members of your care team, and renew your prescriptions. You'll receive MyChart registration information as part of your clinic or hospital discharge instructions.
