Overview of the webinar
Transitional planning is a process that ensures that patients have the best outcomes as they move through the continuum of care. It has become much 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.
This program will review the concepts associated with the continuum of care in the new world of Accountable Care Organizations, value-based purchasing and bundled payments. In addition, we will review how to engage other members of the interdisciplinary care team in the process of planning for the patient’s movement across the continuum including verbal and written hand-off communication. 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. Ensure your alignment with your post-acute care providers.

Why should you attend?
As case management professionals we need to understand the best practice processes for managing our patient transitions through the continuum of care. We can no longer consider our job done when the patient leaves the hospital but must consider how they will manage at the next level of care and beyond.This requires a thorough understanding of the pitfalls and gaps in care that can occur each time a patient transitions from one level of care to another. Are you up-to-date on what CMS is testing and has implemented in order to move healthcare toward a more continuum of care focus? This program will tell you what has changed and what you can do about it!
