Ensocare Blog Solving Post-Acute Care Transition Challenges

Hospitals, post-acute providers and payers are facing new pressure amid unprecedented resource constraints due to the COVID-19 pandemic and other industry changes. “The pandemic has disrupted traditional acute-to-post-acute transition patterns, leaving hospitals with limited options to safely and efficiently discharge patients to skilled nursing, post-acute rehab, and other settings,” said Mary Kay Thalken, RN, MBA, chief clinical officer at Ensocare. During a recent HealthLeaders presentation, Thalken shared key industry transformations occurring in response to this challenge, including innovative hospital programs and new technology solutions that are improving how patients transition between acute and post-acute care settings.
