Facility Partnership Program
Facility Partnership Pogram
At Alcam we are dedicated to supporting your goal of enhancing the quality of life of patients that undergo limb amputations as well as improving patient care overall. As you and the team at your facility are well aware, people who face an amputation can encounter multiple challenges throughout their recovery, rehabilitation and reintegration into their homes and communities. The psychological impact of an amputation can be just as significant as the physical challenges. The key to improving outcomes for those who have lost limbs is to provide the tools and care that are critical to address both physical and psychosocial needs. This begins with your very own Amputation Care Program.
Alcam offers partnerships at no cost to hospitals and rehabilitation facilities. As a partner, our staff will help your facility establish an Amputation Care Program for amputees quickly and efficiently. This will also help meet Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF) standards on peer support for
facilities with an amputation care designation. We also offer generous benefits to our partners, including but not limited to patient education materials.
Post Amputation
24-72 hours after the surgery, we visit the patient beside to provide emotional
support and resources to enhance their quality of life
Education
The patient and their families will receive information, including what to expect over the next six months, local support groups, post amputation exercises, etc
Peer Visitor (PV)
With the patient's consent, we will schedule a meeting with a Peer Visitor. No one is potentially better positioned to understand living life with an amputation.
