SEA GIRT, NJ, USA — By identifying three key areas to improve care transitions between hospital discharge and an SNF admission, Summa Health System developed a care coordination network for this next level of care among a network of privately owned and competing SNFs. During Improving Transitions of Care Between Hospital and SNF: A Collaboration Supporting the Accountable Care Vision, a 60-minute webinar on April 6, 2011, a Summa Health System executive and an administrator from a partnering SNF will share details from their collaborative model of care.

QUOTE ATTRIBUTABLE TO MELANIE MATTHEWS, HIN EXECUTIVE VP AND COO:
Click here for Melanie Matthews's profile.
"Tighter management of care transitions has long been a key strategy to reduce readmissions, but until now, little attention has been paid to the critical hospital-to-SNF transfer. This partnership of health system and competing SNFs is not only reducing readmissions and length of stay for this population, but is also laying the groundwork for the health system's participation in an accountable care organization."
