In this webinar we will explore the unique roles of the ED and admitting office and transfer center case managers and social workers and how an initial assessment and clinical review can better ensure that patients are placed in the correct setting right from the get-go. We will review the 2-midnight rule and the part that case management plays in managing it. This can better ensure a reduction in use of Condition Code 44 or self-denials when patients get admitted to the incorrect level. ED staff also assists in reducing unnecessary admission and readmissions.
Learn how to prioritize which patients need case management at your routes of entry and how these positions can assist in-patient case managers as well. We will complete this webinar with a discussion of how to measure the impact of these roles on the department and the hospital.
Case managers and social workers in all settings must work collaboratively so if you want to be as up to date on these important roles, please join us for this important webinar!
