Adaptations of the evidence-based Transitional Care Model in the U.S.
The goal of this study was to describe and classify common local adaptations of the evidence-based intervention Transitional Care Model (TCM); this model is comprised of 10 components that have been proven in multiple clinical trials to improve care and outcomes for chronically ill older adults who are transitioning home from hospitals. 582 U.S.-based transitional care clinicians in health systems and community-based organizations were asked to complete a survey, then researchers interviewed a subset of survey respondents regarding implementation of TCM in their distinct organizations. The results suggest hypotheses that can be used to guide rigorous examination of the association between adaptations of TCM components and desired outcomes, and reinforce a need for investment in adaptation science.
