Real Time Medical Systems to Present Data-Driven Strategies for Reducing Readmissions at AAPACN 2026

Clinical leaders to share actionable insights to help post-acute providers strengthen care processes and improve patient outcomes in value-based care

BALTIMORE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Real Time Medical Systems (Real Time), the industry-leading, KLAS Rated, and HITRUST Certified post-acute analytics solution, announced today its participation in the American Association for Post-Acute Care Nursing (AAPACN) 2026 Conference, taking place March 17–20 in Orlando, FL. As nursing professionals convene to explore best practices and emerging clinical innovations, Real Time and North Shore Health will highlight how live, data-driven approaches help post-acute teams identify risk sooner, improve care coordination, and enhance performance under value-based care models.

As part of the conference’s educational agenda, Real Time’s Kathy Derleth, RN, BSN, Customer Success Manager, will join North Shore Health’s Tina Belongia, RN, BSN, Chief Clinical Officer, to present “Reduce Readmissions with Data-Driven Post-Acute Clinical Strategies.” The session, scheduled for Wednesday, March 18, 2026, from 3:45pm to 5pm ET, will offer practical guidance on strengthening interdisciplinary collaboration, mitigating risks related to high-risk medications, and advancing discharge planning. Attendees will also hear real‑world examples demonstrating how live clinical data supports timely intervention and reduces avoidable hospitalizations.

“Nurses are expected to make fast, informed decisions in increasingly complex care environments,” said Kathy Derleth. “When teams have access to clear, timely, and actionable clinical insights, they can manage risk more effectively, support regulatory compliance, and facilitate smoother, safer transitions for the patients they serve.”

Building on this perspective, Tina Belongia emphasized the operational importance of early detection and coordinated care: “Reducing readmissions is no longer just a quality initiative – it’s essential to success in value-based care. With real-time visibility into shifting patient needs, our clinical teams can intervene earlier, strengthen care consistency, and improve outcomes across the continuum. And the impact is clear: over the past six months, that approach has improved many of our facilities’ overall Star Ratings across our organization.”
