Transitions in Patient Care Jeopardized patient safety Reduced care quality Increased service utilization Decreased patient experience Emphasis in value-based purchasing Transitional Care Defined as a set of actions designed to ensure the coordination and continuity of health care as patients transfer between different locations or different levels of care in the same location.

The Core Mission of HIE • 100% of patient data in the hands of the provider at the time of care. • HIE is a solid foundation for coordinated care and smooth transitions.
MHIN Transitions in Care Project Goals • Survey area SNFs and LTCs to understand existing care coordination challenges and barriers to accessing information. • Leverage HIE infrastructure to exchange information between transferring and receiving provider in time to allow the receiving provider to effectively care for the patient. • Pilot Transitions in Care projects in Northern Indiana • Measure outcomes to demonstrate value to expand project
