Overview of the webinar
Discharge planning has become more than just the movement of the patient out of the hospital. It is a “process” that starts at the point of admission and follows beyond discharge and through the continuum of care. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services recently added more “teeth” to the process, with the discharge planning final rules, which change the discharge planning section of the Conditions of Participation.
In addition, evidence has identified that there are social determinants of health that can result in barriers to timely and appropriate transitions of care, both in the hospital and out into the community. These determinants must be assessed for and have appropriate interventions to decrease their impact on outcomes, such as length of stay, cost per case, avoidable days and readmission risk.
This program will discuss the final rules and strategies for compliance with the Conditions of Participation requirements for discharge planning. It will also discuss the social determinants of health, strategies for assessing and implementing actions to assist patients in timely and appropriate interventions that yield optimal outcomes. Effective transitional plans can improve your hospital’s value-based reimbursement. Effective discharge planning and transitional planning is no longer a destination but a process! Learn how to be certain that your processes address the complexities of the new healthcare environment.
