Which Patients Should Be Referred?

Refer these patients:

1. Older adults and adults with disabilities who are at risk of institutionalization, nursing facility placement, Medicaid eligible, or in need of other community-based resources to reduce unnecessary repeat hospitalizations.

2. Assistance is needed in locating older adult or adult with disability resources.

3. The patient provided consent.

Connect with 26 other hospitals, state coordinators, the Behavioral Health Administration (BHA) staff and other state partners during the 211 Hospital Network monthly meetings.

Participants discuss best practices, identify gaps in service, and develop long-term, sustainable solutions. This collaborative initiative aims to navigate the dynamic healthcare delivery system and support a holistic approach to patient care. Together, we can identify and implement collective strategies to enhance population health.
