Summary
- I have chaired Dominican Hospital’s Orthopaedic Co-management team for the past six years. Together we have been able to decrease LOS, reduce readmissions, improve PRO and decrease overall costs to the system and payors. Nursing satisfaction has also improved via more education and involvement with team care.
