Effective Care Coordination and Discharge: Assessing Operational Impact

Many healthcare professionals have adopted the Triple Aim—to improve patient experience, improve health of populations, and reduce cost of care—as the transformative framework every healthcare system should strive to achieve. Additionally, the passing of the Affordable Care Act has been the catalyst for systems to recognize the importance of value-based care and the need for systemic reform. In this course—an installment in the Effective Care Coordination and Discharge series—join Lesa Schlatman, RN, BSN, as she shares the impact that care coordination can have on a healthcare system’s communication processes, quality outcomes, and utilization management. Lesa also highlights the importance of care coordination at an operational level related to efficiencies, workflows, and overall costs per patient episode. This course is an ideal fit for care coordination staff, discharge planners, case managers, population health staff, compliance staff, process improvement staff, quality leaders and staff, and nurse leaders.
