Elder Abuse and Neglect

Course Description

Moderator/Speaker: Elizabeth Landsverk, MD

The coordination of care throughout the spectrum of acute to post-acute settings requires true collaboration from healthcare providers across all levels. However, there are certainly challenges in accomplishing seamless transitions from one setting to the next, and inevitably some patients experience an endless cycle of admission and discharge. Meanwhile, providers are
faced with an onslaught of various consequences when patients are needlessly readmitted. This session will arm clinicians with strategies for better communication between acute and long-term care providers, and tools for better accountability and documentation.
