New Re-Hospitalization Prevention Project to Employ Home Health Aides
Certified home health aides will play an integral role in efforts to prevent re-hospitalizations when a new project at the University of Medicine & Dentistry of New Jersey is launched.
The "I CARE-4-Healthcare Transition Project," designed to prevent discharged patients from returning to the hospital within the first 30 days after they leave, will utilize a four-tiered approach to care that includes a:
- certified home health aide/patient navigator
- registered nurse
- advanced practice nurse (APN), and
- physician team.
