A panel of health system executives will weigh in on the emerging new relationship with post acute that has been accelerated by Covid:

- Post-acute safety. Who masters this best, wins.
- Advantage home health vs. SNF. More discharges to HH, but complexity of care limits them.
- Narrowing SNF network. Tighter clinical integration with hospital, more specialty units.
- Changing discharge patterns. More pre-ED discharges, more outpatient to post-acute.
- Changing post-acute marketing. Fewer will be allowed into the hospital.
- Hospitals moving into the home – hospital at home, telehealth, physician house calls.
- Post-acute impact of re-emerging hospital push towards value.
- Health systems’ future preference towards SNF-HH partnerships.
