Overview:
Transitioning patients to the next level of care is an increased challenge for case mangers. Meeting regulatory compliance, such as the important message for Medicare patients, assuring coordinated care planning with patients and families and meeting the needs of the uninsured and underinsured impact are every day demands. Both RN and Social Work case managers have significant responsibilities in assuring patients are discharged from the hospital when medical necessity is met.
Starting discharge planning upon admission does not always assure the patient will be ready for transition when the order for discharge is written. Strategies must be in place for these complex discharge planning situations, and strategies are not only the responsibility of the case manager, but also of the multidisciplinary discharge planning team.
Listen to the CD for this webinar to learn why the discharge planning team is crucial to timely and successful transitions from acute care to the next level of care required for the patient, and learn practical strategies for discharge planning of complex patients.
