Description
Poor discharge coordination drives readmissions, complications, and patient frustration. This panel outlines tactics for strengthening the hospital-to-home handoff — clearer communication protocols, tighter coordination with post-acute providers and family caregivers, and better use of technology to track patients after discharge. Attendees walk away with actionable ideas for closing critical transition gaps.
