Value-based care hinges on reducing readmissions and complications. But that requires engaged patients to follow their care plans. (Who else reads their own discharge plan four times before understanding it fully?) Hospitals are rightly focusing on patient engagement during discharge, recognizing it's crucial for better outcomes. Personalized care plans, patient education, and family involvement are key to achieving desired clinical quality measures. #healthcare #patientengagement #valuebasedcare #patientnavigation

To get there, hospitals and health systems are increasingly stressing the importance of patient engagement during the hospital discharge process. Discharges that promote personalized care plans, patient education, and family engagement will be instrumental in achieving the clinical quality measures most organizations seek.

Patient throughput is an important metric for hospitals - as weak throughput can lead to boarding in emergency departments and patient safety concerns such as hospital-acquired infections when patient lengths of stay are extended beyond medical necessity.    Check out this article where Michael Davis explains how Tufts Medical Center is using TigerConnect to improve efficiency in the ED admissions process and foster teamwork between clinicians and care teams.    https://bit.ly/42F555F  #PatientThroughput #ClinicalCommunication #PatientCare
