Care Transition Intervention Community Level

Care transitions occur in the period of time between providers.  Wisconsin's PATH ALONG is a model for improving care transitions (Section 3026 ACA) from the hospital to other settings.   The goal is to improve transitions of ongoing care needs from the inpatient setting to other community settings.

Wisconsin's PATH ALONG model shifts individual responsibility from the rural hospital directly on to a shared responsibility among all organizations delivering care in the community.  Wisconsin's PATH ALONG model facilitates implementation of care coordination close to the assessed need.

This compensates for the multiple factors present in the care continuum that impact the need to return to the hospital for service.  This gets us all ahead of the key drivers of re-hospitalization.  The reason is to improve the quality of care, save the patient and families time, and reduce the over all cost related to a hospital stay.

Home Care Path www.homecarepath.com has received a Healthy Community Partnership Grant from St. Clare Health Care Foundation to demonstrate how attention to care transitions can keep families from having to run back and forth to the hospital.  Everyone is invited!
