Provides a four-module training program to help hospitals implement Project RED.

Challenges to Implementation: Hospital Related

  • Lack of resources and financial incentives to sustain discharge programs.
  • Standardized discharge papers are not personalized or in patient's language.
  • Resistance to change by clinicians.
  • Financial pressure to fill beds as soon as they are empty.

Challenges may also be related to the hospital itself, as noted on this slide.
