PCORI's video: Part 5 Discharging Patients Recovering from COVID 19

Hospitals treating patients with COVID-19 encounter multiple challenges in discharging them, from discerning when discharge is clinically appropriate to determining where these discharged patients can or should go. At the same time, post-acute facilities and home healthcare agencies face their own challenges in accepting recovering patients and caring for them appropriately, such as the ongoing need to protect staff from infection. In Part 5 of this PCORI-hosted webinar series, Confronting COVID-19: Finding Hospital Capacity and Improving Patient Flow, speakers talk about issues, lessons learned, and promising practices that are emerging from the pandemic.
