What are Transitional Care Visits? 

Transitional care visits are visits with a healthcare provider within 1-14 days of discharge from a hospital, nursing home, or other medical facility. These visits are intended to provide patients with a seamless transition from the hospital to their home, and to prevent readmissions or complications that can occur after a hospital stay. 

Why are Transitional Care Visits Important? 

Transitional care visits are crucial to ensure that patients are properly recovering from their hospital stay and managing their health at home. These visits can help catch many issues early on, such as medication errors, infection, or complications from surgery. By addressing problems early, patients can avoid having to return to the hospital, which can be expensive and disruptive to their recovery. 

What Happens During a Transitional Care Visit? 

During a transitional care visit, a healthcare provider will typically review the patient’s medical history, medications, and any discharge instructions from the hospital or other medical facility. They may also perform a physical exam and check vital signs, such as blood pressure, heart rate, and temperature. The healthcare provider may also review any symptoms the patient is experiencing and offer advice on how to manage them. 

Benefits of Transitional Care Visits 

There are several benefits of transitional care visits, including: 

  • Improved communication between patients, their families, and healthcare providers
  • Reduced risk of readmissions and complications returning 
  • Better Medication Management 
  • Increased Patient Satisfaction: patients may feel overwhelmed or anxious after a hospital stay, and a transitional care visit can help provide reassurance and support.
