The outpatient resource centers will offer health and wellness services ranging from post-discharge exams, medication management, to care coordination services and disease prevention education.

“Timely follow-up visits are an important bridge between hospital care and continued care post-discharge,” Ashley Dlugokienski, MD, medical director of the Orlando Health Support Team for Aftercare and Resources Outpatient Centers said in a statement. “The centers will help facilitate these crucial appointments, which enable patients to address lingering concerns and reduce the chance of readmission.” 

Both outpatient resource center locations will be staffed by advanced practice nurse practitioners, RNs, care coordinators and pharmacists.

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
