SEPTEMBER 2010 Improving Transitions of Care Findings and Considerations of the Vision of the National Transitions of Care Coalition In the United States health and long-term care system, patients particularly the elderly and individuals with chronic illnesses experience Transitions in their care, meaning that they leave one care setting ( hospital, nursing facility, assisted living facility, primary care physician care, home health care, or specialist care), and move to another. Care coordination is a related, but distinct concept, which refers to the interaction of providers to ensure optimal care for a patient. Every transition of care will involve care coordination, but care coordination is a broader process that typically encompasses the assessment of the patient s needs, development and implementation of a plan of care, and evaluation of the care plan.
