Mrs. Williams was rushed to St. Agnes because she was experiencing shortness of breath and was sweating profusely. She was admitted and the attending physician on call contacted Dr. Jackson, her primary care physician. The cardiologist was called to consult on the case and it was discovered that she had a blocked artery. She had surgery and was recovering well. Her attending physician wrote an order for her to have physical therapy as an outpatient and follow up with her primary care physician. Mrs. Williams lives alone and will need some assistance when she returns home. Her case manager contacted a home health agency to provide a nurse to visit her and check her sutures and vitals the first few weeks after she was discharged, a company to provide her transportation to therapy, and a food delivery service.
