Transitional Care Models

/in /by

The American Geriatrics Society (2003) defines transitional care as “a set of actions designed to ensure the coordination and continuity of health care as patients transfer between different locations or different levels of care within the same location” (Cited in Boltz, et. al., 2012). It also encompasses both the sending and the receiving aspects of the transfer and is based on a comprehensive plan of care and includes logistical arrangements, education of the patient and family, and coordination among the health professionals involved in the transition” (Coleman & Boult, 2003 cited in Boltz, et. al., 2012). Finally, it involves a broad range of services and environments designed to promote the safe and timely passage of patients between levels of health care and across care settings” (Naylor & Keating, 2008 cited in Boltz, et. al., 2012). Therefore, transitional care is an essential component of managing very ill geriatric clients. You will be expected to provide this care.

  • Select five research articles within the last 6 years that address transitional care of the geriatric client and briefly describe at least three strategies you will use in your practice to minimize the negative effects associated with transitional care.

Responses need to address all components of the question, demonstrate critical thinking and analysis, and include peer reviewed journal evidence to support the student’s position.

Please be sure to validate your opinions and ideas with citations and references in APA format.
