Improving Transitions: How to Guides

The Institute for Healthcare Improvement has recently updated its four How-to Guides on improving transitions out of the hospital to:

Community Settings
Skilled Nursing Facilities
Home Health Care
Clinical Office Practice
From the IHI newsletter: “The How-to Guides are designed to support hospital-based teams and their community partners in co-designing and reliably implementing improved care processes to ensure that patients who have been discharged from the hospital have an ideal transition to the next setting of care. All guides focus on reducing avoidable rehospitalizations, and all are free to download.”
