Transitions in Care
Date: April 25, 2012
Time: 2:00 pm EST
Transitions in Care, ISRN Research Priority and emerging topic of research, affects every patient that is hospitalized in our nation’s healthcare system. There are major gaps in transitioning care within units in the hospital and more importantly, once the patient is released to their primary care provider, retirement home, hospice and/or to self care at home. Join us for this webinar as we discuss results from successful projects that eliminated errors in care transition.

Date: January 25, 2012
Presenter: Christine A. Goeschel, ScD, MPA, MPS, RN, FAAN
