The problem
Transitions of care are problematic in healthcare delivery systems in the United States and internationally. Communication breakdowns, medication errors, lack of care coordination, poor patient understanding, lack of HIT interoperability and post-discharge planning and support at the point of discharge / care transition - these all contribute to poor outcomes and wasted resources. Well-established research has demonstrated how to reduce these preventable errors.
The standards of care embedded in Project RED have been proven to:
Reduce Readmissions
Improve patient outcomes
Raise patient / family engagement
Increase staff satisfaction
Save nurse time, and millions of $
Project RED principles are the best-in-class standards of practice in care transitions
Errors, oversite and poor practices not only result in hospital readmission penalties and wasted resources, patients, families and staff are demoralized and become cynical when the same problems recure without any remedy.
We understand the problems, now what can we do about them?
In this series of programs, you’ll learn:
Thirteen principles of Project RED
How to implement best-in-class transitions of care
Proven patient engagement practices
Practical insights on gaining stakeholder buy-in
Care coordination practices that work
Application of Project RED to a specific (problematic) chronic clinical condition
Takeaways
Proven methods to achieve the Triple Aim
Practical solutions to readmissions penalties
Translate research into action
Unnecessary and / or inappropriate hospital readmissions cost hundreds of millions of dollars every year. Hospitals which readmit patients outside of national standards are penalized and have lower patient satisfaction scores. While these consequences are significant, the additional costs to poorly managed transitions of care include patient and family stress and difficulty, and demoralized staff.
Join us for a series of three webinars designed to further the dialogue and offer concrete,
actionable directions for policy, operations and medical professionals.
