For Physicians & Care Partners
Make a Private Duty Nursing Referral to an RN-Led Team
When a patient needs more than a follow-up call can provide, a private duty nursing referral to Prata Health puts a Registered Nurse at the center of their care at home. We are a Scottsdale concierge nurse practice, and every client we accept is led by an RN who manages the clinical work, communicates back to you, and closes the gaps that send patients back to the hospital. This page is for the people who send us patients. The first section is for physicians and discharge planners. The second is for case managers, senior-living and facility partners, elder-law attorneys, financial advisors, and hospice liaisons.
We handle the handoff so you do not have to chase it. Send the referral, and an RN follows up the same business day to confirm what the patient needs and what you want us to report back.
For Physicians & Discharge Planners
You discharge a patient who is medically ready to leave but not ready to be alone with their care. The orders are clear on paper. The execution at home is where things fall apart: missed medications, a wound that is not watched, a worried family that calls your office instead of managing at home. That gap is exactly what a concierge nurse referral to Prata Health closes.
We are not a staffing agency that drops a caregiver and checks in occasionally. A Registered Nurse leads every Prata client, carries out your plan of care, watches for the early signals of decline, and keeps you informed. You stay the physician. We become the set of clinical hands and eyes in the home between your visits.
- An RN follows up the same business day to confirm the referral and clarify your orders.
- We execute your plan of care at home: medication management, basic IV (basic only), wound care, post-surgical recovery, and chronic condition monitoring.
- Discharge planning home nursing handled end to end, so the patient is not navigating discharge instructions alone.
- Structured reporting back to your office on the cadence you set, with proactive flags if something changes.
- Post-surgical recovery support after plastic, orthopedic, cardiac, and neurology procedures, for patients who want to recover at home rather than enter a facility.
What Prata Handles, and What We Do Not
Clear scope protects your patient and your name on the referral. Here is exactly what we take on, and where we stop.
We provide skilled nursing in the home led by a Registered Nurse: medication management and reconciliation, wound care, basic IV therapy, vitals and clinical monitoring, post-operative recovery nursing, chronic condition management for conditions such as CHF, COPD, and diabetes, and full health navigation so the patient and family are not coordinating specialists, pharmacies, and appointments on their own.
- Skilled nursing at home, RN-led, with a Registered Dietitian, PharmD, and Nurse Educator on the team for complex cases.
- Medication management, basic IV therapy, wound care, and clinical monitoring between your visits.
- Health navigation: coordinating specialists, appointments, pharmacy, and records so nothing is dropped.
- We do not provide advanced or complex IV therapy, tracheostomy care, neonatal care, or event nursing. If a patient needs those, we will tell you up front so you can place them appropriately.
The Clinical Handoff
A referral is only as good as the handoff behind it. Ours is built so nothing is lost between your discharge and the patient's first day with their nurse.
When you refer, an RN reviews the patient's needs, confirms the plan of care, and establishes a single point of clinical contact for your office. You tell us what you want reported and how often. From there, the patient has one nurse leading their care, and you have one nurse to call. No phone tree, no rotating staff who have never seen the chart.
- Same-business-day RN follow-up on every referral.
- A single named RN as your point of contact for that patient.
- Reporting cadence and escalation thresholds set by you.
- Warm coordination with the family so they understand the plan and stop calling your office for things we can handle.
For Case Managers & Non-Physician Partners
Not every referral comes from a physician. If you sit between a family and the care they need, and you want a nurse you can trust your client to, you can refer to Prata Health too.
We work alongside case managers, senior-living and facility partners, elder-law and estate attorneys, financial advisors, and hospice liaisons. The common thread: you have a client or resident who needs a higher level of in-home care than a caregiver can provide, and you want it led by a Registered Nurse who will become part of that family. Your client stays yours. We handle the clinical care and keep you in the loop.
- Case managers: an RN-led team that executes the care plan and reports back, so your client does not slip between providers.
- Senior-living and facility partners: private-duty RN support for residents who need more than the community provides, without a move.
- Elder-law and estate attorneys: a vetted, credentialed nursing partner for clients planning long-term care at home.
- Financial advisors: a concierge care option for high-net-worth clients who want to age in place rather than enter a facility.
- Hospice liaisons: warm, compassionate end-of-life support in the home, coordinated alongside hospice.
How to Refer
Referring takes one step. Send us the patient's name and best contact, the reason for referral, and your office contact. An RN reaches out the same business day to confirm details with you and the family.
You do not need a portal login, a form template, or a fax cover sheet. Call us or send a secure message, and we take it from there.
- Call 480-404-4737 and ask for the referral line.
- Or send the referral through our contact page and note that you are a referring provider or partner.
- Tell us the reporting cadence you want, and whether the family already knows to expect our call.
