Coordination of Care: Emergency Department Visits and Hospitalizations
Building on the learnings of webinar 1, this webinar will take the discussion further into specific considerations when patients must go to the emergency department or hospital. The session will discuss communication issues regarding transferring clinical data during emergencies, emergency visits that result in hospitalization, and planned hospitalizations. Highlights include addressing unplanned workups and treatments during hospitalizations, utilization management, patient hand-off, and coordinating and scheduling follow-up care. It’s not a matter of if your patients will need ED or hospital care, when it happens, you need the tools and strategies to be effective.
Educational Objectives
• Evaluate strategies for ensuring comprehensive information transfer for patients requiring an ED visit
• Describe best practices for coordinating care with hospitalist/surgical teams
• Review how utilization management can assist with coordination of care for hospitalized patients
