Shared Learning for Better Outcomes

“Caring Collaborative” is more than the catchy title of our regular editors’ column for Caring for the Ages — it is meant to be a guide for our work. Today’s post-acute and long-term care (PALTC) environment requires a caring collaborative among a range of disciplines to be successful. This is so very different than the past PALTC environment with its fee-for-service, acute care, siloed focus, which was typically run by community physicians who worked independent of other disciplines.
