Join host Sara Maus, Director of Operations and Business Development at Prestige Outpatient Providers, for the premiere episode of Conditions That Matter: A Clinical Focus Series for Post-Acute Success! This brand-new podcast series is created for the Wild West of the post-acute world in Southwest Florida. She's joined by co-host and post-acute legend Dr. Frank Elterman, who has been serving Southwest Florida's post-acute care for nearly a decade and is a partner as well as the Managing Partner and Medical Director of Prestige Providers.

In this introductory episode, Dr. Elterman and Sara discuss clinical focus areas for post-acute optimization and reveal how their team has reduced readmissions by about 30% through strategic communication, provider education, and 24/7 availability. Dr. Elterman provides real examples, including a patient with seizures whose progress was improved with proper medication. Sara and Frank emphasize their mission to partner with nurses, EDs, case managers, caretakers, and colleagues, helping facilities improve star ratings, reduce readmissions, and optimize patient care while keeping their doors open.
