Homless Hospital Release Solutions

Here's an article that I found from National Coaltion for the Homeless that describes some of the changes that have to occur with physicians when homeless patients are released from hospital, in order to imporove patient outcomes.

I found most interesting the program at OHSU with their hospital, which seemed to mirror/alleviate many of the same problems that we have with patients at the Hillcrest hospital. I was also aghast at the crazy practices going on in LA.
