Evidence-Based Rehabilitation to Reduce Readmissions

Course overview

Although individuals at risk for hospital readmission span diagnoses and patient populations, common sequelae of a hospitalization are shared. Further, the principles guiding interventions (e.g., focus and intensity) may be similar. This course will review specific direct patient care interventions and other contributions (e.g., communication, discharge recs, decision making) for patients at risk for hospital readmissions. Case examples for specific diagnoses and patient presentations will be explored.
