Join us on Thursday, July 17, 2014 for a free online webinar that will demonstrate how the employment of telehealth technology can impact your readmission rates.
-
Overview:
In July of 2012 the UAMS Medical Center CHF Bundled Payment Committee was charged with reducing 30-day all cause readmissions (RA) in this population. After implementation of quality measures, the RA rate improved but then flattened and the Committee was not making further progress. Beginning in January 2013, the Committee partners with the UAMS ANGELS Call Center to begin efforts towards incorporating the CHF patient population into the current business model incorporating telehealth technology. Project Manager Donna Ussery, RN, will discuss how the implementation of telehealth, through Telephone Triage and routine follow-up, impacted the readmission rates.
