Avoiding avoidable days




OHSU Week show

Summary: Every day, at least 10 to 15 patients at OHSU are well enough to discharge but some sort of delay is keeping them in the hospital. These “avoidable days” keep other patients from accessing the services that only OHSU can provide – and add millions of dollars per year to the already-high cost of health care. Guests include: Jennifer Mensik Division Director, Care Management
