Hospital discharge is a complex process representing a time of significant vulnerability for patients. Improving care transitions is critical to improving individuals' quality of care, quality of life and their outcomes. Healthworks is pleased to announce that your facility has an opportunity to participate in a project designed to implement and expand an effective discharge planning process.
According to Medicaid.gov, effective care transitions:
- Prevent medical errors;
- Identify issues for early intervention;
- Prevent unnecessary hospitalizations and readmissions;
- Support patient preferences and choices; and
- Avoid duplication of processes and efforts to more effectively utilize resources.
