WILLCARE supports the practice patterns of physicians by listening to the needs of physicians and creating programs and services that help the physician to better manage patients at home. Some of the ways we have helped physicians include:

• Collaborative Practice/Liaison
  Physicians often desire 'one person' from the home care agency who will coordinate care and services and maintain communication with the physician in a timely manner. WILLCARE can customize a practice model (including the assignment of a liaison nurse) to the specific needs of the physician, assuring efficient communication, consistent protocols, continuity, and a trusting relationship.
  
  
• Home Coagulation Control Program
  Regular monitoring of coagulation therapy is essential but often difficult to arrange, especially for homebound or rural patients. WILLCARE offers a practical solution for physicians and patients through WillChek - a home coagulation control program. Portable monitors are used to determine a patient's PT and INR during routine home visits. By performing only a finger-stick test, results are accurately measured within two minutes and phoned to the physician, ensuring immediate dosage titration.
  
  
• Physicians' News Service
  To stay current with local, state, and federal changes in home health care that affect physician practices, WILLCARE developed a complimentary news update. These reports, known as WillNotes, provide a timely reference on important topics for physicians, ranging from clean claims guidance for reimbursement eligibility, to qualifying patients for home care and cutting edge services in the home.
