Care transitions have been identified as the way to help reduce hospital readmissions. Long term health planners perceive the need to strengthen the link between providers. Strengthen the link and you reduce the need for a rehospitalization.
Hospitalized patients receive help from the staff to meet their needs. The help provided by hospital staff is called care. Care transitions is the hospital staff releasing the care for the person's needs over to staff who work in the community. This allows community staff to help the discharged patient with their ongoing needs.
Properly handing over the care to better meet the discharged patient's needs is the key to a readmission free recovery. Families know the hospitalized person does not get better immediately. Having a simple way to visualize both participants of care from the hospital and on in to the community would help.
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. This is a free event and everyone is invited to attend.
