Effective Care Transitions: the Call for Geriatric Leadership

Moderator: Sally L. Brooks, MD
This session will create the “business case" for Geriatric Medicine and Inter-disciplinary Teams by targeting resources in improving Care Transitions and decreasing avoidable re-hospitalizations. The call for action is now as Hospital and Healthcare Systems respond to the Affordable Care Act and Payers and Physician leaders prepare for an ACO future. Our Society membership created the foundation for these principles of right care, right time, and right place.
