Read Frequently Asked Questions

Why Should You Attend:

While some hospitals are participating with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) as an accountable care organization (ACO), others are not yet participating. Even if your hospital or health system is currently not participating, many of the new CMS initiatives and payment changes still require that you think and behave like one. Bundled payments are one such example in which quality of care and costs must be managed across the continuum. Evidence shows us that case management can serve as the lynch pin that connects departments and disciplines across the continuum while retaining the patient as the center figure in the process.

In this webinar you will learn how to coordinate the patient’s transition between healthcare systems and settings such as moving from the hospital to rehabilitation and home settings. We will discuss ways in which to maintain open communication between the patient, patient’s family or caregiver and other members of the interdisciplinary healthcare team at all times regarding the transitional location.

In this training, there will be a discussion on how to apply strategies for involving the patient and family in decisions regarding care and transitional options. Since many factors impact on the integration of case management among and between providers these will be covered in detail including the role of the patient/family, physicians and other providers of care, case management and post-acute providers.

Finally we will review best practice strategies for ensuring that patients do not fall between the many cracks and gaps in today’s healthcare systems.

Topic Background:

Integrating case management across the continuum requires that hospitals and post-acute providers think like an Accountable Care Organization even if they aren’t one. This kind of thinking requires that patients remain the center of the wheel around which all case management processes revolve. Every case management department must ensure that they are providing an infrastructure for managing patients across the continuum that includes hard-wired processes for identifying and managing the highest risk patients regardless of setting.
