Manage episode 263985429 series 2288292
Faced with rising numbers of COVID-19 cases, one hospital struggled to find adequate medical/surgical beds due to the challenges it had with discharging COVID patients. With a strong desire to address the need for surge capacity and to meet patient needs for inpatient rehabilitation, the challenge was met by the team at Henry Ford Macomb Hospital in Michigan, as you’ll learn during this edition of Monitor Mondays.
