Abstract:
Wanting to improve the quality outcomes of their joint care program, a team approach was used to implement a program with integrated care across the continuum. The authors describe the joint care program and its outcomes that included a decrease in length of stay, fewer complications, improved functional status, higher discharge disposition to home, and lower variable costs per case.
