Avoid 30-Day Readmissions, Improve Care Transitions
Get the tools to align care transitions, prevent bounceback readmissions, and improve overall quality of care, direct from the Southwest Ohio Care Transitions Collaborative and the University of Michigan Health System Sub-Acute Care Rehabilitation Program.
Most health systems today work with a combination of providers on the care continuum, including skilled nursing facilities and other providers of post-acute care services, to improve long-term care and prevent readmissions. Sometimes health systems own these providers but in the vast majority of cases they are independent. The challenge for healthcare executives is to manage this range of relationships and get these partners to agree to a set of care protocols that keep people out of the hospital. Get continuum management strategies and learn the skills to get partners, physicians, and nurses to agree to a set of care protocols that improve overall quality of care.
At the conclusion of this webcast, you will be able to:
- Reduce bounceback readmissions through improved care transitions
- Identify criteria for choosing the right partner facilities
