Identifying challenges associated with the care transition workflow from hospital to skilled home health care: perspectives of home health care agency providers.
The authors studied the workflow for transitioning older adults from the hospital to skilled home health care (SHHC). They found three overarching challenges to optimal care transitions: information access, coordination, and communication/teamwork. They recommended that future investigations test whether redesigning the transition from hospital to SHHC improves workflow and care quality.
