Week 7 DQ 1

Transition management is a critical aspect of care coordination. It ensures that health care teams partner with patients and their families to attain the right care at the right time and by the most appropriate provider. Transition management processes and practices ensure that patients get the right specialist, select where to care, and set up appointments (Rosen et al., 2018). A current event that demonstrates best practices in transition management is the patient-centered medical home (PCMH) approach. The core principles of this model entail care coordination in a post-hospital environment and increased integration (Farrell et al., 2017). The model is a care delivery approach where primary care providers coordinate patient treatment to ascertain that one gets the requisite care when they need it and in a way that they can understand. The objective of this transition management is to ensure that care coordination comes from a central point through partnerships among individual patients, their physicians, and even the family and other providers.

The rationale of this model as a best practice is that patients get care from effective coordination based on registries, use of information technology, health information exchange, and effective collaboration with the family. According to the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) (2021), the model focuses on meeting a host of a patient’s holistic health care needs using a team strategy. Further, the model is patient-centric, enhances effective care coordination, and improves access to services. Additionally, the model enhances quality and safety through effective clinical decision support equipment, evidence-based care, and shared decision-making and management of health among populations (Powers et al., 2018). For instance, exchanging quality data and enhancement activities leads to patient system-level quality care.
