Do you have certain clients who seem to be in and out of the hospital? As a behavioral health provider (either in a primary or behavioral health care organization), is it difficult for you to keep track of treatment plans for clients who see different providers (e.g., receiving inpatient care or at the emergency department)? Do you believe that better coordination between inpatient and outpatient services could improve health outcomes and reduce the burden on individuals and their families?
Comprehensive transitional care from inpatient to community medical and behavioral health services can improve health outcomes and reduce costs.
Join this webinar to review promising care transition models, initiatives and payment incentives that can be employed to promote collaboration between inpatient and outpatient providers; hear how one community provider implemented a successful care transition program; discuss strategies to increase success of discharge and treatment planning; and get tips on how to encourage individuals and family members to manage their care.
