2019 Patient Safety & Quality Symposium - Connecting the Dots: Highly Reliable Health Care Across the Continuum
Achieving high reliability is even more challenging when you factor in moving from the hospital to home or other facilities, whether they’re short or long-term. We’ll cover best practices for transitions of care across health care settings and between health care teams. We’ll address how payment models at the regional and national level impact care coordination for patients, providers and health care systems. And perhaps most importantly, how do health care disparities impact patient populations and providers in the continuum of care.
