The American Hospital Association's Physician Leadership Forum has released its "Ambulatory Care Sensitive Conditions Toolkit," which includes resources for hospitals and health systems, clinicians and patients.
The toolkit includes guides, fact sheets, frequently asked questions and action plans.
The toolkit is a follow-up to the AHA's 2013 report, Appropriate Use of Medical Resources, which listed "reducing inpatient admissions for ambulatory-sensitive conditions" in its top five list of hospital-based interventions to be closely examined.
