Proctor Clinical Health Strategy, PLLC
About
Kathy Proctor, MSACN, RN, CCM-BC
I have spent my career as a Registered Nurse and Board-Certified Case Manager navigating the healthcare system. But my deepest understanding of the "Postpartum Gap" didn't come from a textbook; it came from my own lived experience. When I was diagnosed with Preeclampsia, I transitioned from clinician to patient.
I saw firsthand how terrifying those weeks after discharge can be, and I realized that even for a medical professional, the lack of consistent follow-up is a dangerous void. I managed my recovery with clinical surveillance and metabolic strategy, but I knew no mother should do it alone.
Today, with rising postpartum complications and readmissions, my mission is clear: support new mothers and partner with providers. At Proctor Clinical Health Strategy, I combine my clinical experience, education, and personal journey to ensure every mother has the "Clinical Bridge" she deserves.
How Can I Help You?
Virtual Services
Transition Audit
We begin while you are still in the hospital. I review your discharge orders, verify your medication schedule, and ensure your home monitoring equipment is calibrated and ready. This eliminates 'first day home' anxiety.
The Crtitical 72- hour Surveillance
The first 3 days post discharge are the highest risk for re-admission. During this phase, we conduct daily 1 on 1 virtual check-ins and real time triage of your vitals. We catch the "Yellow Zone" warnings before they become "Red Zone" emergencies.
The 6-Week Clinical Stabilization
As you move toward your first postpartum OB visit, we focus on metabolic stabilization. This includes weekly clinical oversight, nutritional strategy for gestational diabetes and, preeclampsia recovery, and medication adherence monitoring to ensure your body is healing as intended.
Long-Term Metabolic Hand-off
At the 6-week mark, we finalize your "Clinical Recovery Summary." This document is shared with your doctor to provide a roadmap to long-term heart and metabolic health, ensuring that a high-risk pregnancy doesn't become a lifelong chronic condition.
Q&A: The Benefits of Clinical Case Management
Q: Why do I need a Case Manager if I already have an OB/GYN?
A: Your OB is your specialist, but they cannot be in your living room. There is often a 6-week "black hole" between discharge and your first follow-up. We fill that gap with daily/weekly oversight to ensure complications like late-onset preeclampsia are caught early.
Q: Can’t I just track my own blood pressure?
A: Tracking is only half the battle; interpreting the data is what saves lives. We provide the clinical expertise to know when a spike is a fluke and when it requires an immediate trip to the ER, saving you from unnecessary stress or dangerous delays.
Q: How does this help my doctor?
A: Doctors love data, but they don't have time to sift through 42 days of handwritten notes. We provide them with concise, professional "Clinical Trend Reports" that allow them to adjust your medications or care plan with surgical precision.
Q: Is this covered by insurance?
A: We operate as a private-pay, premium clinical consultancy to ensure you get unlimited access without the restrictions of insurance "gatekeeping." However, we can provide you with a detailed superbill to submit for potential out-of-network reimbursement or HSA/FSA use.
