Post-acute performance—from episodic cost to readmission rates—increasingly impacts hospital financial success, regardless of a health system’s level of risk. Yet significant variation in post-acute quality and cost means that successful post-discharge outcomes are dependent on the performance of individual PAC providers.
As a result, hospitals are forming narrow networks with the highest-quality PAC providers to maximize the number of patients treated by top-quality providers, while facilitating care management partners. This resource outlines our suggestions on how to create and/or optimize your post-acute care network.
Although this downloadable resource is just a high-level primer on how to build a successful network, our team of experts has built a library of assets, case studies, insights, tools and best practices on other relevant post-acute care topics. This body of research outlines how to optimally define goals, create strategy, and execute plans to meet and exceed performance metrics in virtually every aspect of post-acute care.
