What Role Do Nurses Play in Preventing Readmissions?
Nurses play a critical role in preventing readmissions through several key activities:
Assessment and Monitoring Nurses continuously assess and monitor patients for any signs of complications or deterioration, both during the hospital stay and after discharge.
Coordination of Care Nurses often act as liaisons between different healthcare providers, ensuring that the patient's care is well-coordinated and that all necessary information is communicated effectively.
Patient and Family Support Nurses provide essential support to patients and families, helping them navigate the complexities of the healthcare system and ensuring they have the resources they need for a successful recovery.
