Your Patient Experience Doesn’t End at Surgical Discharge.

Give appropriate patients access to private, one-to-one postoperative RN support after they leave your facility—without building a private-duty nursing service inside your practice.

Elevé Surgical Concierge provides scheduled postoperative nursing in the patient’s home, hotel, or approved recovery setting while working from your postoperative instructions and provider-directed plan.

The Procedure May Be Complete. The Patient’s Recovery Is Not.

The recovery room is structured. The patient’s living room usually is not. Once discharged, many patients are managing a complex combination of postoperative instructions and practical recovery needs outside the clinical setting.

01
AT YOUR FACILITY

Professional support surrounds the patient.

  • Clinical observation
  • Medication administration and organization
  • Defined staffing
  • Immediate clinical context
  • Structured discharge planning
02
AFTER DISCHARGE

Responsibility shifts quickly.

  • Prescribed medication schedules
  • Nausea, hydration, and fatigue
  • Mobility and toileting assistance
  • Positioning and procedure-specific precautions
  • Dressings, drains, compression, or incisions
03
THE QUESTION

Who is helping once the patient gets home?

For many patients, the answer is a spouse, parent, friend, or caregiver with little or no postoperative clinical experience.

Elevé gives appropriate patients another option.

Family Can Support the Patient. An RN Brings Clinical Context.

The value of professional postoperative nursing is not that family members do not care enough. It is that emotional support and nursing assessment are different roles.

A FAMILY MEMBER MAY NOTICE

“She looks more swollen.”

They can recognize that something looks different, but may not know how that observation fits with the procedure, instructions, other findings, or recovery pattern.

THE RN ADDS

Clinical context.

The nurse considers the broader postoperative picture, documents relevant findings, reinforces the established plan, and communicates concerns when indicated.

A FAMILY MEMBER MAY SAY

“You’re really nauseated.”

They know the patient feels unwell, but may not know how oral intake, hydration, medication timing, alertness, and other recovery factors should be considered together.

THE RN ADDS

Structured assessment.

Elevé provides focused nursing observation within RN scope and reinforces the provider-directed recovery plan.

A FAMILY MEMBER MAY WONDER

“Should I call the surgeon?”

Caregivers may hesitate because they do not want to overreact—or may call because they have no clinical frame of reference for what they are seeing.

THE RN ADDS

Trained observation and escalation.

The nurse reviews available instructions, documents findings, and escalates appropriate concerns through the applicable clinical pathway.

Family can be family. Elevé can handle the nursing.

Not Every Patient Needs a Private Nurse. Some Patients Want or Need More Support.

Elevé gives your team a professional option when an appropriate patient’s recovery needs, caregiver situation, travel plans, or preferences go beyond a routine ride home.

01

Patients With Limited Caregiver Support

Patients who live alone, have an unavailable caregiver, or do not have someone comfortable managing the practical demands of early recovery.

02

Patients Traveling for Surgery

Patients recovering in hotels or temporary accommodations without their usual support system nearby.

03

Higher-Assistance Recoveries

Patients whose early recovery may involve substantial mobility assistance, positioning, toileting, drains, dressings, or complex caregiver tasks.

04

Patients Who Prefer Professional Care

Some patients have family available but simply prefer a trained RN managing the nursing aspects of their early recovery.

05

Concerned or Inexperienced Caregivers

A willing caregiver may still feel uncomfortable with drains, blood, medication schedules, mobility assistance, or recognizing changes.

06

Patients Seeking First-Night Support

Patients who want dedicated professional support through an overnight recovery window rather than relying solely on family.

Professional Postoperative Support Centered Around Your Plan.

Elevé does not create a competing postoperative plan. Nursing support follows available patient-specific instructions and provider orders while remaining within applicable RN scope.

A Better Answer to “Who Can Help Me at Home?”

Elevé gives your coordinators and surgical team a professional resource to introduce when a patient needs or wants more support after discharge.

01

A Trusted Referral Option

Give appropriate patients a defined next step instead of asking them to search independently for private postoperative care.

02

Earlier Recovery Planning

Professional recovery support can be discussed before surgery day rather than becoming a last-minute problem.

03

Instruction Reinforcement

The RN reinforces the postoperative plan established by the treating surgical team.

04

Caregiver Preparation

Family can receive additional education and reinforcement around the patient’s established recovery instructions.

05

No Internal Program to Build

Your practice can offer access to private postoperative support without operating its own private-duty nursing service.

Your Team Introduces the Option. Elevé Handles the Recovery Service.

Your office does not have to manage Elevé’s routine patient intake, agreements, scheduling, or service coordination.

01

Identify an Appropriate Patient

A patient expresses concern about postoperative help, has limited caregiver support, is traveling, or prefers professional recovery assistance.

02

Introduce Elevé

Provide Elevé information or direct the patient to our recovery request process.

03

Elevé Reviews the Request

We review the requested service, surgery date, recovery location, availability, and case suitability.

04

Elevé Manages Intake

Once the case proceeds, Elevé manages patient intake, agreements, scheduling, and recovery-service preparation.

05

Nursing Begins After Discharge

The scheduled RN provides the confirmed postoperative service in the approved recovery setting.

You Direct Treatment. We Support Recovery.

Surgeon-directed plan

The surgeon or treating provider remains responsible for diagnosis, prescriptions, procedure-specific restrictions, follow-up, and changes to treatment.

RN scope

Elevé nurses provide care within applicable RN scope and according to available postoperative instructions and provider orders.

Mobility and therapy

Elevé reinforces surgeon and therapy instructions and does not independently determine weight-bearing, activity progression, or new restrictions.

Emergency care

Elevé is not emergency care, a hospital, or a replacement for a higher level of care when clinically required.

Make Elevé Part of a Defined Recovery Pathway.

Some practices simply want a trusted resource to provide when a patient asks for help. Others want professional postoperative support incorporated more consistently into selected procedures or patient populations.

Preferred Practice relationships can establish planned nursing capacity, defined referral processes, procedure-specific recovery pathways, and agreed communication expectations.
