From Admission to Home Effective Case Management and Discharge Strategies

Event Materials (Key Required)

Rural hospitals are carrying the weight of big-system rules on the shoulders of small towns. The CMS regulations don’t slow down just because your staff is thin, your budget is tight, and your community depends on you. One missed notice, one unclear admission status, one gap in discharge planning—suddenly, compliance, reimbursement, and patient trust are all on the line.

This live webinar puts a spotlight on the real struggles rural teams face every day: juggling IMM and MOON notices, decoding the Two-Midnight rule, navigating Medicare Advantage denials, avoiding social admissions, and more.

You’ll leave with straight-talk strategies that cut through CMS red tape, protect your hospital, and give your staff tools they can actually use. If you’ve ever wondered, “Are we missing something that could put us at risk?”—this session is for you.
