Following rave reviews from the panel discussion at the World Congress Leadership Summit on Hospital Re-Admissions in January 2010, The Care Continuum Panel is back by popular demand - this time expanding from 1 hour to 8 in a rare advisory board discussion where attendees will have the opportunity for a more intimate venue with peers, sharing problems and discussing ideas for reducing re-admissions and improving their local care continuum.

Hear how the implementation of transitional care programs have assisted health plans and health systems with improving patient safety, increasing quality of care, reducing re-admissions and enhancing patient satisfaction.

Through a series of dynamic panel discussions, intensive case studies and the ability to learn from your peers through multiple networking opportunities, attendees will collaboratively take an intensive look at the mission critical frameworks that are necessary to improve transition of care outcomes.

Attend this advisory board meeting to:

• EVALUATE the programs and solutions that have been successful in care continuum
