Discharge planning is a process that starts at the point of admission and follows through the continuum of care. CMS proposed more regulations to the process, with updates to the discharge planning section in the CoPs.

This program will review the most recent reimbursement challenges and strategies for transitioning your patients across the continuum of care to improve value-based reimbursement. Our experts will discuss engaging members of the interdisciplinary care team and focus on verbal and written hand-off communication. Learn how to address the complexities of the new healthcare environment!
