Managing Transitions of Care

Course overview

Hospital readmissions are an important measure for the quality of patient care in U.S. hospitals. Among the likely reasons for readmission are shortfalls in how organizations execute transitions in care, resulting in inadequate communication, inadequate follow-up care, and medical errors. Luckily, these can be prevented by implementing effective transitions. This course will review how your organization can effectively handle transitions of care. The goal of this course is to provide administrators and nurses in post-acute care with the best practices for transitioning care.
