Our 4th season on the day will be Chris Rosin, JD, NCG Oregon Public Guardian and Conservator, State of Oregon. Abstract: This session reviews case studies of individuals who live in, or need, long-term care and are awaiting discharge from hospital settings, including the barriers that arise in these situations and solutions to successfully return or move the individual to a long-term care facility. In addition, this interactive session explores the hospital discharge process for complex patients needing discharge to a post-acute care setting, where the need for guardianship is a primary barrier. A realistic complex case example will be used to walk through the process. Link to register: https://lnkd.in/gTWCKniS
