Description: HANYS is pleased to continue our Complex Case Discharge Delay Learning Series with a session focused on guardianship. John Holt, JD, director of legal services and policy, Project Guardianship, will provide an overview of guardianship in New York state and share insight into navigating the process.

HANYS Complex Case Discharge Delay Learning Series aims to help our hospitals address the myriad issues associated with complex case discharge delays. The series features many of the themes identified by attendees at SWAT 2019: Tackling Complex Case Discharge Delays, including sessions focused on guardianship issues and the Family Healthcare Decision Act, best practices for emergency departments caring for individuals with intellectual disabilities, and immigration and legal status.
