Inpatient Rehabilitation Facilities - the Acute Care Hospitals of the Future?
Health care risk management is a very diverse field and when you meet one risk manager, you meet one risk manager. One size does not fit all. This podcast series will take a look at risks inherent in a variety of health care settings. The sixth podcast of the series will explore the unique challenges of health care risk management in the rehabilitation setting. There is high demand for this level of care from Medicare beneficiaries, commercially insured patients and those under 65 years of age with Medicaid coverage who have acute illnesses or injuries or chronic disabilities. Hear from Linda Tiemens, Vice President of Quality and Care Coordination at Sheltering Arms Institute and Nancy Connelly, Risk Management Consultant with RCM&D/Unison in a conversation that will be of interest to risk professionals across the care continuum.
