| Popis: |
The concept of ‘continuity of care’ or ‘seamless care’ refers to the transition that occurs when a patient is discharged from an acute care setting to an outpatient community environment. In order to prevent errors and to ensure appropriate follow-up during this transition, communication between all healthcare disciplines is required to guarantee the implementation of an appropriate, successful treatment plan following hospital discharge. Major accrediting organizations now require the process of medication reconciliation upon hospital admission and the provision of a comprehensive list of the patient’s medications to the next healthcare provider following hospital discharge. |
