Starting a Conversation
Why do we talk about things like whether designated supportive living residents are admitted to the hospital from the emergency department or if they return to the emergency department within seven days after their last visit? The healthcare system is complex and inter-related. What’s happening in emergency departments and acute care (hospitals), as well as other areas of the healthcare system, can impact residents’ and their family members’ experience in designated supportive living.
These 28 interactive charts present administrative data as well as patient experience survey data. You can compare information about designated supportive living sites or zones, and look at data presented over time.
