Newswise
- CHICAGO, February 2, 2015 - The National Association of Health Care
Quality (NAHQ, www.nahq.org) will hold its first National Quality
Summit, Apr. 23-4 in Philadelphia. Leading experts on quality management in health care will cover more
and more important - how to ensure favorable results in clinical
patients transition to another or home environment.
"In changing the speed of delivery of health services transitions quality management is recognized as a critical need in the continuum of each episode of care," said President NAHQ Mary Huddleston, RN, CPHQ ". The NAHQ Summit is a unique opportunity to learn from national experts on drivers, key clinical and financial policies that influence the quality during transitions in care and bring practical recommendations for action plans for their organizations. "
Transitions in care can be broadly defined as implemented through the continuum of care, such as within a health care organization, in all environments (for example acute post-acute) and in a community practice or population.
The gaps in the quality and safety of care transitions have been documented in several studies. In 2009, the hospital Medical Journal reported that 5/1 patients discharged from hospital in the country have experienced an adverse event in three weeks, and the National Quality Forum has shown that preventable readmissions occurring within 30 days of high cost Medicare $ 15,000,000,000 years. Furthermore, according to the Annals of Internal Medicine, the cost of poor discharge planning is estimated between $ 14 and $ 44 billion per year.
"The implementation of strategies to reduce hospital readmission rates is essential to improving quality and patient safety and reduce healthcare costs. Many studies have shown that the quality of care transitions is a method to reduce rates reentry "said President Eric A. Coleman NAHQ Summit, MD, MPH, professor of medicine and director of transitions Care Program University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus.

• How the landscape of the attention of the national health policy is shaping our strategies to improve the quality and safety of care transition
• Promote interdisciplinary collaboration to improve the quality and safety during transitions of care
