Delivering Inpatient Notifications
Manage The Important Message from Medicare and HINNs
Product Description:
AUDIO CONFERENCE ON CD OR ON-DEMAND
Sponsored by Case Management Monthly
Presented on August 9, 2011
Without proper procedures for delivering patient notifications, hospitals may lose reimbursement and face more avoidable days.
During this 90-minute audio conference, our speakers use a fictional case study to show you how to appropriately deliver each of the necessary inpatient notifications throughout a difficult stay. They discuss the regulatory requirements and associated time frames. They identify vague areas in the regulations and demonstrate best practices for a strong discharge planning process.
