Hospitals, challenged with a variety of issues related to length of stay, remain hyper-focused on efficient discharges to post-acute care. During this session, we will cover the five keys to being a valued partner in an integrated system of care.

2. Transfer of documentation and other communications
3. Integrating acute and post-acute care models
4. Standardizing clinical outcomes for payor contracting
5. Building an accompanying community care coalition
