Care Plan Creation for the Reduction of Re-Hospitalization and ED Use

In the Volume to Value healthcare landscape we currently work, significant focus is placed on the episodic version of the acute care patient program. Post-Discharge return visits to the Emergency Room (within 30 days after DC) identify patients whose problems were not resolved in the acute hospital admission. In addition, the Home Health Readmission percentage rate hovered in the mid 20’s until recent efforts have improved results. Homecare Providers who have traditionally viewed patients (and their respective programs) through 60-day episodes struggle when addressing 30-day ER/Readmit concerns. HHSM’s Melissa Couty demonstrates how to use Care Plan Creation to create improved outcomes in terms of ER visits and Readmissions in this Healthware webinar.
