| Program focuses on most difficult transition: Going home |
| Most hospitals have addressed the transition of patients from one hospital setting to another: emergency room to radiology, radiology to inpatient, etc. These transitions in care, known as handoffs, are areas in which facilities have tried to improve, especially since The Joint Commission (formerly JCAHO) made them part of National Patient Safety Goal #2 in 2006.
However, one of the most significant transitions in care, the transition to the home, has not been paid as much attention. |
