Event Description

The Medical Journey Improvement Group is new for 2018 and brings together contents of the previous Readmissions and Chronic Disease Patient Journey Improvement Groups. Our aim is to benchmarks the medical patient's journey through their various interactions with the hospital system and to consider the best setting for continued care.

Reducing unplanned avoidable readmissions is also becoming a key quality issue and requires a hospital wide strategy for improving systems for ALL patients. Relying on inefficient approaches such as case finding, or employing one FTE to reduce readmissions, reduces their impact. Frequent hospital admissions can be a sign that patients with chronic diseases and long term conditions are not provided with adequate access to non-hospital services and social support.

Agenda now available on website.
