  1. Reducing Re-hospitalizations Using Non-Medical Personnel Kelly Craig, Camden Coalition of Healthcare Providers Rachel Wolf, Salud Family Health Centers October 10, 2013

  2. CARE TRANSITIONS 101

  3. “Care transitions refers to the MOVEMENT patients make BETWEEN health care practitioners & settings as their condition and care needs CHANGE during the course of chronic or acute illness.”1 1 The Care Transitions Program®. (2008) Transitional Care: Definitions. Retrieved: http://www.caretransitions.org/definitions.asp

  4. Inadequate care transitions contributed to [an estimate of] $25-$45 million in wasteful spending in 2011 Nearly 1/5 of hospitalized [fee for service Medicare] patients are re-admitted within 30 days of discharge 3/4 of those readmissions ($12 billion annual cost) are preventable through proper care transitions

  5. Key Barriers to Proper Care Transitions Lack of consistent care post hospitalization Complete hospital records often not accessible to Primary Care Physicians Limited information given to patient upon discharge (e.g. self-care, medication management, who to contact with questions)

  6. “Transitional care is 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.”2 2Coleman EA, Boult CE on behalf of the American Geriatrics Society Health Care Systems Committee. Improving the Quality of Transitional Care for Persons with Complex Care Needs. Journal of the American Geriatrics Society. 2003;51(4):556-557.

  23. The Black Scorpion Speaks… “At first I was reluctant, but the communication and the relationship with the team is wonderful and very supportive. They are always in touch with me and assist me in meeting my goals. For example, guiding me to my new apartment and MICA program. I feel security with the team. I was not just left, put out in the middle of nowhere. They actually did what they said they were going to do and that made all the difference.”
