Education - Reducing Avoidable Hospitalizations

2:00 PM - 5:15 PM

Dodd Meeting Room

Almost one in four people admitted to a skilled nursing facility in the U.S. is rehospitalized in less than 30 days at an estimated cost of $14.3 billion per year. Research has shown that many of these rehospitalizations are avoidable if the change in the resident’s condition is noted soon enough, if treatment can be provided in the nursing home and/or if a resident has advance directives in place. Learn about the latest tools to assist in avoiding rehospitalizations. Presented byDr. Ruth Tappen, Professor and
Christine E. Lynn Eminent Scholar at the College of Nursing, Florida Atlantic University
