  • Clay County Medical Center Improves Care Transitions Processes

    Clay_County.jpeg 

    Care transitions, particularly from an inpatient setting to home, can be a challenging time for patients who may be dealing with a medical crisis, a new medical condition, or change in care plan. Poor transitions of care can lead to a variety of negative outcomes, including medication discrepancies, adverse clinical events, poor patient experience of care, and frequently avoidable hospitalizations. Improving care transitions has been an important strategy for reducing the costs associated with hospitalization and readmissions1 and proves to be an important opportunity for addressing social determinants of health2. Transitional Care Management (TCM) serves to manage this hand-off period offering an excellent opportunity for primary care providers to oversee and coordinate support for a patient's medical conditions, mental health or behavioral health needs, social services, and other barriers to optimal patient outcomes.

    In April 2017, church elders from the nearby Amish community met with two physicians and a social worker from Nemaha Valley Community Hospital (NVCH) to discuss concerns about recent poor birth outcomes in both mothers and babies in the local Amish community.  A meeting between physicians and church elders to solve health care issues is not the norm in healthcare, but in this case, was the most logical and culturally appropriate means to address an issue, which was vital to both the Amish community and the hospital.
