Transitions in Care for Older AdultsApril 22, 2008
Older adults with multiple chronic conditions and complex therapies are particularly vulnerable to breakdowns in care as they transition between care settings. Despite consistent positive outcomes, research-based approaches to enhance transitions in care are not routinely integrated into clinical practice. Given the growing number of older adults with complex care needs, the chasm between evidence-based practices and current approaches must be bridged. This presentation describes efforts to translate the research findings concerning transitional care into the “real world” of clinical practice.
