That could mean working with physicians and nursing to better institute Care in Place practices.

From the Becker's Hospital Review: some steps to help reduce hospital re-admission rates 🏥 One of the goals for hospitals is to lower re-hospitalization rates by ensuring patients have the proper education and understanding of their responsibilities, involvement, and steps to take after leaving the hospital. Those patients who interacted with higher engaged nurses were more likely to respond “Always” when asked about their care transitions, their needs being met, and understanding their discharge instructions. With increased understanding, patients feel more at ease and more likely to comply with their responsibilities, medications, and steps to take after leaving, leading to better health outcomes. #hospitalreadmissions #nurseengagement
