Cross-Continuum Readmission Series

This five-part pre-recorded webinar course is designed to help you make specific, feasible, meaningful progress in aligning and coordinating your readmission reduction work with key partners across the continuum: hospitals, practices, community services and emergency departments. Join each session ready to examine your current readmission reduction efforts, learn about the efforts of your cross-continuum partners and identify specific opportunities to align or address gaps to help achieve your readmission reduction goals. This course, in its entirety, will take an estimated 5 hours to complete, but is set up in sessions and does not have to be completed all at once.

This pre-recorded webinar course was developed in support of the Hospital Improvement Innovation Network (HIIN) and Transforming Clinical Practice Initiative (TCPi) in 2018.
