Transition Care Management refers to the coordination and continuity of health care during a movement from one healthcare setting to either another or to home
Transition care management aims to ensure the successful transition of patients from hospitals, nursing homes, etc., back to their community setting, including rest homes, domiciliary, assisted living, or home, leading to the best health outcomes possible for patients. It involves reducing readmissions during the 30-day transition care management period that begins when the patient is discharged from the acute care setting and continues for the following 29 days.
The care management involves contacting patients within 2 business days from the time they are discharged from the acute care setting and addressing patient status and needs after the scheduled follow-up care. The contact is made via email, telephone, or in-person to bill the patient.
Whether your patient needs transitional care from nursing home to primary care, transitional care from hospital to primary care, or from hospital to home, you can use our transitional care management services. Using the platform, you can enroll patients, schedule and document follow-up calls, and create a care plan.
At CHS, we understand how critical the 30 post-discharge period is for transitioning patients. Especially for older adults who have multiple chronic conditions and need constant care as they often move between care settings. It is essential to deliver quality care to patients during this time. Our HIPAA-compliant portal is made specifically for managing patients transitioning from acute care to other care settings or homes. It automates workflow and streamlines transitional care, reducing the time you would spend doing the whole procedure manually.
