Hospitals need to develop a detailed policy of when and how they'll provide post-acute financial assistance for uninsured or under-insured patients. The policy should allow staff to get real time decisions about what will be covered. Staff should apply the policy consistently to all patients in all situations. A policy frees up case managers to coordinate care for all their patients rather than spending hours at a time trying to line up post-acute care for unfunded patients.
医院需要制定一项详细政策，说明何时以及如何为未参保或保险不足的患者提供急性后期财务援助。该政策应允许工作人员就哪些费用将得到报销做出实时决策。工作人员应在所有情况下对所有患者始终如一地执行该政策。一项政策可使病例管理人员从为自费患者安排急性后期护理而每次花费数小时的工作中解脱出来，从而能够为其所有患者协调护理。
