26 - 27  July 2010


Reducing Hospital Readmissions & Discharge Planning Conference. Melbourne Marriott Hotel.
With the needs of an aging population growing, demand for hospital beds is greater than ever. A significant proportion of patients discharged return to hospital within 28 days because complications have arisen relating to their original admission. Unplanned readmissions can be a burden on patient health and costly to the hospital. Many unplanned readmissions can be avoided with improved discharge planning and better coordination between hospitals and community based care providers.

Endorsed by the Discharge Planning Association, this comprehensive two-day conference will provide practical advice for identifying, predicting and preventing unplanned readmissions. You will benefit from open and honest discussion, excellent networking opportunities and a chance to leverage knowledge from key case studies and experts in this field.

Introducing our sponsor:

HPCG consists of 3 divisions: HPC Legal, HPC Consulting & HPC Financial Care.

We established our e-health service as a result of the lack of progressively updated and meaningful information available. The information that does exist tends to be quite legally and technically challenging. It is of great importance to us that the health profession and the community’s rights are protected and that they understand the implications of these changes.

Our goal is to educate and assist the health profession in a way that can be easily understood. We provide simple solutions for implementation at a facility level. We achieve this by providing awareness sessions through various colleges, associations, divisions and other organisations to their members and to practitioners and smaller groups directly.
