Managing Care Transitions in 2013
Proper management of a transition in care — the process by which an individual's care moves from one health setting to another, such as from hospital or ER to home, or from SNF to hospital -- has the potential to dramatically hasten that person's return to health, as well as reduce the likelihood of a return ER visit or readmission. The quality of transitional care is also shaping up to be a critical factor in value-based reimbursement, as federal and private payors ask patients to rate the quality of the transitional care they receive.
Please share your organization's efforts to improve care transitions by completing HIN's third qualitative survey on this topic by Friday, April 12. You'll receive a free executive summary of the compiled results. Your responses will be kept strictly confidential.
