These facilities do not solely cater to ventilator patients exceeding 25 days of stay; they also provide advanced care for patients with a wide range of complex conditions prone to readmission and can do so in less than 25 days. During our session, you will gain insights into how these specialized sites of care are reducing length of stay and improving outcomes for complex patients, making them important strategic partners in maximizing quality and cost-effectiveness.
