Description

The purpose of the Student Hotspotting initiative is to identify these individuals, understand their barriers and intervene by:

• Connecting them with community resources
• Improving coordination and communication between both providers and the patient
• Empowering these individuals to better manage their health

Our patient (DW) lives in a close-knit, 4-generation household that just welcomed their newest member: a black-and-white kitten

DW is a 61 year-old female who recently received orthotopic heart transplant. Her comorbidities include sleep apnea, GERD, OA, chronic pain syndrome, COPD and a history of a CVA

We identified 3 main barriers to address with DW

• Transportation difficulties
• Management of her complex medication regimen
• Maintaining a heart healthy lifestyle through diet and exercise
