Preventing Avoidable Hospitalizations by Providing Appropriate Care & Treatment
Date: Wednesday, May 6, 2026
Webinar time: 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM Central Time
Avoidable hospitalizations remain a significant challenge for assisted living and long-term care providers. Delayed recognition of illness, limited staffing, and shortened orientation programs can lead to unnecessary hospitalizations, lost revenue, and increased legal risk.
This webinar will review ways to reduce avoidable hospitalizations, common diagnoses that can often be treated within the facility, and the early warning signs staff must recognize to intervene quickly. Participants will also explore when hospital transfers are necessary, required documentation, and the clinical responsibilities of RNs and LPNs.
Join us to learn practical strategies that help facilities provide appropriate care, improve outcomes, and reduce preventable hospital transfers.
Learning Outcomes:
At the conclusion of this webinar, participants will be able to:
- Identify common conditions that frequently lead to avoidable hospitalizations in assisted living and long-term care settings
- Recognize early warning signs and symptoms that indicate a resident’s condition is changing
- Determine which conditions can safely be treated within the facility and which require hospital transfer
- Clarify the roles and responsibilities of RNs and LPNs in resident assessment and clinical decision-making
- Describe the documentation required when residents are treated in-house versus transferred to the hospital
- Implement strategies to reduce liability and prevent avoidable legal risk related to delayed or inappropriate care
