Once a relic symbolic of earlier times in medicine, the Inpatient-Only (IPO) List has been added to the junkyard of outdated medical processes and practices. And if you and your team fail to plan and align your system appropriately, you risk major financial, operational, and compliance consequences.

The good news: during the next live edition of Monitor Mondays, you’ll learn why inpatient status is no longer guaranteed by procedure. You’ll also learn how the burden of proof for inpatient care now rests in your documentation, along with what you and your team must do to protect appropriate inpatient admissions. 

Join us when Dr. Stephanie Van Zandt reveals practical strategies to navigate this new landscape and stay ahead of the curve.
