This series will take a deep dive into better understanding the multiple facets of transitions of care, the complexities of care that patients can be impacted by, and how best to support patients to ensure effective services. The presenters will be discussing the history of I-MPACT (a prior BCBSM-funded CQI) and their goal to reduce readmissions, the impact of social determinants of health and racial disparities, the identification of gaps in transitions as well as care management strategies for success.
Join us for our new four-part series on the 3rd Thursday of every month between July and October!
