SETMA's Care Transitions to Reduce Preventable Hospital Readmissions


Published on Nov 11, 2012


The Institute for Healthcare Improvement's Triple Aim is to improve care, improve health and decrease cost. A difficult problem in healthcare is the frequency of 30-day readmission to the hospital. Often the cause for readmission are related to medication problems and to poor care transitions. SETMA has designed a care transition program which combines the forces of a hospital care team with informatics and care coordination to:

  1. Provide a hospital plan of care to patients upon admission
  2. Complete a Hospital Care Summary and Post Hospital Plan of Care and Treatment Plan at discharge which includes a reconciled medication list, an assessment of risk of re-hospitalization, and follow-up appointments within 2-5 days.
  3. A Care Coaching call the day after discharged from SETMA's Department of Care Coordination
