Event:
Dr. Christine Schaeffer-Pettigrew, Medical Director of the Northwestern Follow Up Clinic, presents a cost-effective, thoughtful model of primary care that has successfully prevented rehospitalizations and empowered hundreds of low-income, medically complex patients to improve their health and livelihood. This innovative, transitional model can be applied across the spectrum of health systems nationwide as the healthcare landscape shifts to an emphasis on coordinated, performance-based care. Attendees who are interested in best practices in efficient medical care coordination will gain new insights regarding transitions of care from the hospital to the primary care provider’s office for some of our most vulnerable patient populations. |
