The readmission rates of hospitalized patients, particularly Medicare beneficiaries, are one driving factor in the call for improved transitional care services. The number of acute care beds should not impact transitional care services. The patientโ€™s condition and healthcare needs guide this decision. The nursing shortage may impact the ability to provide direct care services, but it is not one of the driving forces. PTS: 1 CON: Healthcare System | Economics 2.

The patient may not understand the recommendations, but pointing that out can be seen as demeaning. This statement does encourage the patient to ask other questions. The patient is the center of the team, and the goal is to facilitate healing.

To teach the family exercises encroaches on the expertise of the professional who will be performing the service. Scheduling home physical therapy (PT) is leaving the patient out of the decision-making process. The schedule for home visits are best made by the patient/family directly with the provider. The patient may choose a facility that provides PT that is closer to their home, so it is best to have the patient/family make these arrangements. The nurse best exhibits the characteristic that the patient has a right to self-determination by presenting the methods available for PT and answering the patient’s questions about each so the patient can make an informed decision.

The patientโ€™s needs may go unmet, and there is the risk for medication errors; however, these are not the focus of an education session regarding readmission rates. Hospital readmission rates are often attributed to a lack of coordination of care as patients are discharged to rehabilitation facilities, long-term care agencies, or back to their homes; therefore, this should be the focus of the educational session. The safety of the patient is at risk during transitions between care settings, particularly following an acute hospitalization. The patientโ€™s needs may go unmet, and there is the risk for adverse clinical events; however, these are not the focus of an education session regarding readmission rates.

Limiting choices is not one of the guiding principles and could compromise patient outcomes. Decreased cost of care is a basic principle of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) of 2010. Readmissions to acute care facilities, particularly within 30 days of discharge, increase the cost of healthcare. Increasing access, improving quality and safety, and lowering costs are the basic principles of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA), which does not address increasing hospital revenues.

It is not a nursing responsibility to contact the insurance carrier. This is managed by other healthcare professionals, such as the care coordinator, case manager, or hospital business office, etc. When managing the patientโ€™s transition of care, it is essential for the nurse to provide information that necessitates a follow-up. For this patient, clinical manifestations indicative of infection will need to be reported to the provider. When managing a patientโ€™s transition of care, the nurse initiates this planning at least 24 hours prior to discharge. PTS: 1 CON: Communication | Safety 7.

Additionally, patient circumstances may require closer monitoring of the UAP. The health condition of the patient must be stable. If there is a change, the delegatee must communicate this to the licensed nurse, who reassesses the situation and the appropriateness of the delegation. The licensed nurse is expected to communicate specific instructions for the delegated activity to the delegatee; the delegatee, as part of two-way communication, should ask any clarifying questions.

Because the patientโ€™s needs and progress have changed, the nurse notifies the case manager to coordinate changes in care needed after discharge. This patientโ€™s exercise program, as well as wound care, needs to be examined, and the case manager is the individual to coordinate this change.

Collaboration involves a collegial working relationship with other healthcare providers to provide patient care that involves the discussion of diagnoses and management in the delivery of care. The case manager (CM) utilizes the processes of assessing, planning, facilitating, advocating, and providing available resources to meet the individualโ€™s health needs with quality and cost-effective outcomes in mind. A CM incorporates the input of the Interprofessional Care Team (ICT) to plan in-hospital care and discharge transition care. This professional monitors services to ensure that the patient has the available resources to return to optimal health. Health education would be included in this particular situation but represents only one role of the CM.
