MIND THE GAP: Best Practices in Health Care Collaboration
Tuesday, November 01, 2022, 8am - 5pm
Bell Works, Holmdel, NJ

Proudly Sponsored By

Introduction

Care transitions across settings (hospital, institutional settings, and home) are vulnerable exchange points for patients and family caregivers that contribute to higher risk of poor health outcomes. For older adults and individuals from historically marginalized communities, care transitions are even more challenging, resulting in unmet patient and caregiver needs, increased safety risks, high rates of preventable readmissions, and increased healthcare costs.

Improvement of transitional care remains a complex endeavor requiring attention to the perspectives of the multiple stakeholders engaged in care transitions and the practice of cultural humility.

Participants in this conference will hear from national and state experts regarding the current challenges involved in coordination of care across the health care continuum and ways to improve communication between health care providers during patient transitions. A focus on person-centered care during transitions between care settings today and in the future will be addressed.

Learning Objectives

Who Should Attend?

Physicians, physician assistants, nurses, social workers, case managers, nursing home administrators and staff, chaplains, and others interested in successfully facilitating transitions of care and improving patient outcomes.
