SUMMARY:Preventing Avoidable Hospitalizations by Providing Appropriate Care and Treatment
DESCRIPTION:Join PharmScript\, LLC. on Wednesday\, May 6\, from 1:00 to 2:00 p.m. EDT. Ruth West\, RN\, BC\, IPc\, with Consistent Compliance\, LLC\, will present the webinar. \n\nAvoidable hospital transfers remain a significant challenge for assisted living and long-term care providers. Delayed recognition of illness\, limited staffing\, and shortened orientation programs can lead to unnecessary hospitalizations\, lost revenue\, and increased legal risk.\n\nThis webinar will review ways to reduce avoidable hospitalizations\, common diagnoses that can often be treated within the facility\, and the early warning signs staff must recognize to intervene quickly. Participants will also explore when hospital transfers are necessary\, required documentation\, and the clinical responsibilities of RNs and LPNs.\nJoin us to learn practical strategies that help facilities provide appropriate care\, improve outcomes\, and reduce preventable hospital transfers.\n\nLearning objectives: \n1. Recognize early warning signs and symptoms that indicate a resident’s condition is changing.\n2. Determine which conditions can safely be treated within the facility and which require hospital transfer.\n3. Clarify the roles and responsibilities of RNs and LPNs in resident assessment and clinical decision-making.\n4. Describe the documentation required when residents are treated in-house versus transferred to the hospital.\n5. Implement strategies to reduce liability and prevent avoidable legal risk related to delayed or inappropriate care.\nThe webinar is approved for 1.00 CEU credit for nursing home administrators\, nurses\, and directors of nursing. \nRegister today: click here.
