April 28, 2010 Webinar: Coordinated Discharge Planning Approach to Reduce Avoidable Hospital Readmissions
Learn how to identify areas where avoidable hospital readmissions could occur and how to improve your discharge process during the April 28, 2010 webinar, "A Coordinated Discharge Planning Approach to Reduce Avoidable Hospital Readmissions."
March 19, 2010
MANASQUAN, NJ, USA — The hospital discharge process is ripe with opportunity to ensure timely follow-up to care and patient compliance. From the patient’s or caregiver’s clear understanding of the discharge instructions to a phone call a few days post-discharge there are many strategies to provide a successful discharge process from the hospital. An industry expert from The Doctors Management Company will break down the hospital discharge process — from admission to discharge — and identify the key areas that can have an impact on avoidable hospital readmissions during "A Coordinated Discharge Planning Approach to Reduce Avoidable Hospital Readmissions," a 45-minute webinar on April 28, 2010 at 1:30 Eastern sponsored by the Healthcare Intelligence Network.
