Empowering Geriatric Patients
Copyright :
Healthcare professionals need a well-rounded patient centered approach to support and empower patients. Therapists should also be leaders and innovators in easing the transition between levels of care. With improved skills to empower patients, the risk of re-admission can be reduced with more active patient involvement in the plan of care.
