Cardiac Event Discharge from MD Anderson

World's largest cancer center, located in the Texas Medical Center

Okay, so first things first — if you're reading this, the MD Anderson discharge planner just told you something that changed your week. You have a small window to find the right next setting for your loved one. SeniorIQ matches your situation to the three Houston communities that fit, with bed availability confirmed, in under four hours. Free for your family. Free for MD Anderson. Texas Chapter 121 disclosure included.

Clinical context

Post-cardiac event seniors face a binary decision: home with home health support, or assisted living with elevated cardiac monitoring. Risk factors that push toward ALF: living alone, inconsistent medication adherence, prior hospitalizations, or mobility decline.

The 4-hour SLA

  1. Hour 0: MD Anderson discharge planner submits a PHI-free intake (initials only, care level, mobility, target window).
  2. Hour 1: SeniorIQ's match engine runs against the live HHSC-licensed community registry.
  3. Hour 2-3: Real-time bed-availability check via email and phone.
  4. Hour 4: Top-3 verified matches delivered to the discharge planner. Texas Chapter 121 disclosure auto-generated for the family.

Family checklist before move-in

  • 1Confirm receiving community has staff trained in cardiac symptom recognition
  • 2Review medication management protocol including blood thinners
  • 3Verify dietary protocol (low sodium, fluid restriction)
  • 4Confirm vital sign monitoring frequency
  • 5Check coordination with the hospital's cardiology follow-up clinic
  • 6Verify emergency response protocol (chest pain → call protocol)
