Transitions of care refer to the movement of patients between different healthcare settings, such as from a hospital to a nursing home, or from one healthcare provider to another. This research area focuses on how patients and their healthcare information are managed during these transitions to ensure continuity of care, prevent medical errors, and improve patient outcomes. Researchers in this area study factors that impact successful transitions of care, such as communication among healthcare providers, medication reconciliation, and patient education. The goal of this research is to develop strategies and tools to improve the coordination and quality of care during transitions, ultimately leading to better patient outcomes and reduced healthcare costs.
