By admin on April 12, 2013 in Training News

If you like learning via Youtube and also keeping an eye out for how physicians and nurses are being educated on care transitions, this is for you!

http://www.rwjf.org/en/about-rwjf/program-areas/quality-equality/care-about-your-care/continuing-education.html?cid=XEM_A7059

The goal of this program is to inform nurses and physicians about the drivers of avoidable hospital readmissions and how improved care transitions may reduce avoidable readmissions. Our panel of national experts will provide innovative models of care that are helping people make the difficult transition from hospital to home. In addition, participants will see what interdisciplinary teams from around the country are doing to address this complex problem.

After studying the information presented here, participants will be able to:

Identify at least three drivers of hospital readmissions.
Describe at least two peer-reviewed, patient-centered models for care transitions.
List at least three tools or lessons that will be incorporated into your own efforts to implement interventions related to care transitions.
