  5. Geisinger Transitions of Care (“TOC”) Project • Started in January, 2008 as a joint quality-efficiency initiative complementing the medical home • Eliminate unnecessary readmissions • Free up capacity for more acutely ill medical and surgical patients • Seeks to build on the disease-specific readmissions work performed at numerous institutions over the last decade, with several key differences: • System-wide vs. narrow population • Multiple pilots to test impact of different interventions • Focused primarily on quality enhancement and future economic positioning, with limited/no current negative impact

  8. Interdisciplinary Team Rounds Today’s discharges: • Confirm that all plans are being executed for a timely discharge • Outstanding issues Patients being readied for transition: • What is the planned discharge date? • What is keeping the patient from going home or to a lower level of care? • Can anything be implemented today to expedite the discharge date? • Is there a risk for readmission? What can be implemented to reduce that risk? • Are activities of daily living (walking, eating, elimination) at an appropriate level to prepare for transition? • Need Nutrition/PT/OT/Diabetes/Wound intervention? PICC line for post acute infusion? • Is the patient and family teaching completed in preparation for transition? • Referrals/insurance authorizations needed? Placement arranged? • Is the family and home ready for transition? Are there any patient safety considerations?

  9. Discharge/Proactive Outreach • PCP Appointment Scheduled Before Discharge • Discharge Synopsis to PCP • Inpatient Screening leading to Post Acute Care Management • Medication Reconciliation and Teaching • Physician Appointment Follow Up • Home Care and DME in Place • Trigger Management
