Transitioning patients from one care setting to another and coordinating their care ensures health care continuity while avoiding preventable poor outcomes. While the process sounds simplistic, the reality is as patients move from one level of care to another, among multiple providers and across settings the process can derail and communication can break down. An engaged health care team working collaboratively with the patient, family, and caregivers can improve quality of care, patient satisfaction, and patient outcomes. The importance of integrating evidence-based practice guidelines into transitions of care along with the knowledge, skills, and attitudes of the RN in the CCTM role will be discussed. A patient scenario is used to illustrate how tools for transitioning from one level of care to another can be applied.

Purpose:
The purpose of this chapter is to enable the reader to understand the impact of a mutually developed, implemented, and continuously evaluated transition of care plan has on quality of care, patient satisfaction, patient outcomes, and financial impact, and understand the importance of integrating evidence-based practice guidelines into a transition of care plan.

Contact hours available until 7/1/2024.
