Using Remote Patient Monitoring and Rescue Plans to Prevent ED Visit and Hospitalizations

It is well known that effective care transitions help reduce readmissions and are essential to patient safety. Yet, many organizations struggle with structures and processes that depend on collaboration across the continuum of care. The purpose of these mini-series sessions is to share evidence-based interventions and best practices to reduce readmissions. Speakers will provide guidance and education on specific readmissions reduction strategies. Participants will learn how to reduce readmissions and sustain their practices. They will also be challenged to reconsider aggregated readmissions rates as a measure of program effectiveness.

Session objectives:
- Define the Eddy Visiting Nurse and Rehab Association (EVNRA) Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) Program
- Discuss how the program works
- Discuss the program's goals
