(2020 AM) 302. They’re Not Handoffs, They’re Patients is proudly presented to you by National Association for Home Care & Hospice. Thank you. We hope that you enjoy your course.
Description:
Creating value in home-based care requires that providers get patients within a system to appropriate levels and settings of care as their needs change. Reducing hospitalizations and other cross-setting measures require home care and hospice providers to adopt consistent policies, practices, and communication strategies to ensure the patient is transitioned to the right level of care at the right time.
Learning Objectives:
- Identify the primary indicators for effective transitions in the post-acute realm;
- Outline communication strategies to facilitate timely, informed transitions across care settings;
- Discuss transition practices and measures in palliative and hospice care, including the developing expectations of CMS for quality care for these settings.
