ForwardFrom Outpatient Care through Discharge Planning; An Overview of Delivering Care to Veterans at UPMC
Care coordination for veterans can be difficult, especially when we are unsure of who to call, what the veteran is eligible for, and how to coordinate ongoing care across the continuum. To expand on the briefing provided by the Department of Military and Veteran Affairs, we will look at advanced aspects of delivering veteran care, community care, eligibility, and many other aspects of veteran care.
After the presentation, Discharge Planners will have a better understanding on how to proceed with connecting Veterans to state and local resources that may have been difficult to do prior to attending.
