Webinar on Preventing Hospitalizations/Re-Hospitalizations
Next week – Wednesday, October 5 – I am conducting a webinar on behalf of HCPro on the subject of preventing unnecessary hospitalizations. The program will cover all care transitions with a particular emphasis on inpatient admissions. Below is a quick summary about the program.
The new quality measures are out, and there is a renewed emphasis on reducing the risk of avoidable hospitalizations and readmissions. Across a number of regulatory elements beginning this year, hospitalization and readmission rates from SNFs will be measured and ultimately factored into the SNF landscape via reimbursement penalties and star ratings.
At the conclusion of this program, participants will be able to:
- Identify the steps that lead to readmissions and what can be done to lessen or eliminate the risk
- Increase their awareness of the tools available to reduce the risk of readmissions
- Use best practices to improve care coordination
- Know which key elements produce readmissions and how to limit or remove them, including medication reconciliation, care conference structure/strategy, care pathways, disease management programs, and communication tools
Registrants get the session content plus handouts which include usable QA tools, care pathways, etc. Any readers interested in this subject area are encouraged to attend and/or share the link with their colleagues. The program link for registration, etc. is below.
