Homecare Hub: Expanding Access; Improving Processes

Froedtert Health has been working with Homecare Hub to build a local network of group homes and create a search engine that helps locate appropriate discharge options for patients needing post-acute care and residential services in southeast Wisconsin. Froedtert Health’s Diane Ehn and Homecare Hub’s Dr. Vipan Nikore will share their experience working to expand residential options for sometimes difficult to place patients. They will discuss their gap analyses, the various barriers to appropriate discharges and care, and how their work is addressing those barriers.
