Reducing Emergent Care and Acute Hospital Readmissions for Home Health Patients

Reducing readmissions should be a high priority for every home health agency. This involves keeping the patient in the home and/or community during the home health episode and after discharge. Effective discharge planning is a key component in achieving this goal. Join ACHCU and Sharon Litwin of Healthcare Provider Solutions as we discuss the steps involved in effective discharge planning, how to identify patients at high-risk for readmission and to learn strategies to prevent unplanned hospital care.
