Being admitted to the hospital is bad news. The even worse news is, now that you went through the door once, you may become a repeat customer. One in five adults over the age of sixty-five will return to the hospital within thirty days of leaving. But what can you do to make sure it doesn’t happen to you?
The Bucks-Chester-Montgomery Link is bringing a pilot program to Montco SAAC, Norristown, to educate consumers on the risks of care transitions. Staff will be making presentations and distributing zip drives with an attached clip to go on a key-chains. They will give vital information if you find yourself in the hospital. We believe that educating and empowering consumers to take charge of their own care transition is a necessary step to ensuring that when you get home – you stay home.
To learn more about this program and how it can help you, visit Montco SAAC on Tuesday, May 6, 2014 at 12:15 p.m. for an informative program and demonstration. Zip drives will be available. For further information call 610-275-1960. Park in our lot!
