RT Magazine’s April 28th webinar Reducing COPD Readmissions is now available for viewing on demand.
Four experts in respiratory care offered successful multidisciplinary strategies for avoiding unnecessary COPD readmissions, the financial impact of readmissions (including the impact of the Affordable Care Act’s Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program), and ways that departments and RTs can incorporate best practices to reduce and prevent COPD readmissions.
This webinar is sponsored by Nonin Medical, inventors of finger pulse oximetry.
