The quality of Discharge Planning is dependent on the providers to whom the patient can be referred. Post-acute providers are key links in the process and not an 'abyss'. Building an effective bridge between hospitals and post-acute providers is critical to success for all segments of health care. This webinar will address these questions:

• How does the Prospective Payment System work in the post-acute setting?
• What does a hospital need to know to effectively link with the post-acute providers?
• How can technology support both sides of the referral chain?
