Assuring Successful Transitions of Care: TOC Standards for the Care Continuum is proudly presented to you by National Association for Home Care & Hospice. Thank you. We hope that you enjoy your course.
The cost of poor care transitions of Medicare patients from acute care alone is $26 billion per year as of 2016. This session will describe the American Case Management Association’s (ACMA) Transitions of Care standards, recently released and developed by convening national healthcare leaders representing all health care delivery segments. These standards seek to bring clarity to the practice of care transitions and assist providers, payers and all health care organizations in establishing processes for seamless coordination across the entire continuum of care, with the goal of achieving, the best health outcomes.
Learning Outcomes:
- Provide an overview of the opportunities to assure efficient, successful and cost-effective care transitions between settings and levels of care delivery
- Present and explain the ACMA Transition of Care standards developed by national health care leaders from all segments of care delivery
- Describe metrics associated with Transitions of Care and address opportunities for measurement to drive standardization across the care continuum
