Part 1: Updates in Transitional Care and Models Part 1: Hospital-based, Working Informally with Faith Communities
Does transitional care decrease hospital readmission rates? This interactive webinar examines the role of faith community nurses according to research regarding factors that lead to hospital readmissions and the interventions that reduce them. Dr Ziebarth will present results from one pilot and two 2-year studies collecting and examining nursing interventions provided by faith community nurses to patients transitioning from hospital to home in which the nurse had a formal relationship with the hospital and informal relationship with faith communities. The faith community nurse transitional care interventions are compared with transitional care priority interventions. Join this important research discussion to learn more about transitional care.
