Notes:
After Module 2, you selected project metrics and determined who will collect them and how. You confirmed your targeted patient population and developed criteria for inclusion and exclusion. You established a process for notifying the Discharge Advocate (DA) that a new patient who meets inclusion criteria has been admitted. You reviewed your current communication process related to discharge plans and defined a strategy for enhancing it. Lastly, you finalized the Patient Care Plan structure and decided how the DA will access and use it.
