HCIT Consulting’s LMS Education Solution:

THE HOSPITAL CASE MANAGEMENT FUNDAMENALS

THE PROBLEM

Your hospital already has:
Case managers
Utilization review processes
Discharge protocols
And it’s still broken. Because the real issue is that your staff does not understand case management well enough to understand the principles consistently.
That shows up as:
Delayed discharges
Length of stay creep
Poor post-acute placement
Readmissions tied to wrong level of care placement
Constant miscommunication between teams

THE FIX

The Hospital Case Management Fundamentals
This is not another training program. It is a hospital-wide case management literacy system that gives every discipline the same baseline understanding of how patient progression actually works.
All operating with the same core knowledge and offering CEUs for certain disciplines*.
Nurses*
Physicians
Case managers* (with Ethics)
Social workers*
Therapy teams*
Billing*
Coders*

Sarah Richardson CIO of DaVita Medical Group

HCIT Consulting was an amazing asset to have as we rolled out a completely new platform to replace an outdated legacy system. HCIT helped facilitate appropriate feedback from all markets to ensure standardization and to maximize efficiencies. Too often solutions are built in a vacuum but the Consultant ensured all blind spots were identified and communicated across multiple service lanes and markets.
