Clinical Approach

The Bridge After Cardiac Surgery

Only about 1 in 4 eligible patients ever start cardiac rehab. Nurtura is the bridge to it.

Most heart patients go home and never begin the recovery their physicians prescribed. Nurtura brings functional recovery into the home in the weeks after discharge so patients rebuild the strength, confidence and momentum to enroll in and complete Phase II cardiac rehabilitation. Nurtura does not replace cardiac rehab.

Built for Hospitals in TEAM

Health Systems owns the 30 days after CABG, Hip & Knee Joint Replacement.

Under CMS's Transforming Episode Accountability Model (TEAM), hospitals are accountable for cost and quality well beyond discharge. Nurtura delivers structured in-home functional recovery during that window to help keep patients mobile, on track with their cardiac and orthopedic care plan, and prevents re-admissions.
