With a sinking economy, there are fewer people insured, forcing hospitals to be more prudent with their reimbursement. As a result, hospitals need to move patients more efficiently through their system. This book explores the application of continuum of care. It explains differences in venues, admission requirements, and intended length of stay. More importantly, it provides general knowledge regarding reimbursement structure and regulatory requirements, including a review of MDC and DRGs. The text concludes with a plan of action for designing an effective case management program. The authors also include exercises and exam questions for training team members in effective case management.
