Clinical Concepts and Solutions

Patient care activities extend far beyond the acute care setting. Greater emphasis is placed on sustainable patient outcomes beyond the acute inpatient event. In fact, CMS, in pursuit of improving quality, imposes penalties on inpatient acute care facilities for unplanned readmissions of Medicare beneficiaries that occur within 30 days. As a result hospitals have realized the need to closely coordinate care for patients who are at a high risk readmission. Clinical Concepts and Solutions can provide consultative services to assist in implementing a care coordination program within an acute care or ambulatory care setting including:

• Program Design
• Interim/supplemental Staffing
• Process improvement
• Training/mentoring
