40% (4/10) in hospital beds do not need to be there (Improvement in Science Research Network)
Care Transitions Process

1)Risk Stratification – identify the patient’s risk level – this will determine what level of transition services a patient may need.
2)Assessment/Triage – complete a clinical and/or psycho-social assessment to determine probable post-event needs. 3)Patient Story – understand:
What led to this event,What level of understanding the patient has about the event,The patient’s clinical/psychosocial history that impacted the event, The patient’s ability and willingness to work on changes to maintain care in his/her home setting, andWhat support the patient may need to carry out the plan.

Identified SuccessesAssurance that follow-up needs will be met due to personalized hand-off with clinic/community partners
Greatly improved communication between hospital and clinic
Patients and families are more engaged in planning transitionsEasy identification of patients who are considered high risk, resulting in improved focus on those with the highest need
Identified ChallengesWe want to share information with non-Fairview providers
More work to be done, particularly in our emergency departmentsSkilled nursing facility transitions need a different type of hand-off (plan of care, why is the patient coming to them, medication reconciliation, orders confirmation)
