The TOC Compendium is a collection of resources such as white papers, journal articles, and websites that a "Transitions of Care" professional or interested consumer might find useful in their practice or medical situation. National Coordinating Center for Integrating Care for Populations and Communities - The National Coordinating Center will host Learning Sessions twice per month to provide information and best practices to QIOs, providers, and partners. These sessions are typically held the 2nd and 4th Thursday of each month at 3 PM ET, unless otherwise noted. Participation is free and does not require pre-registration. Also, sign up for their list serve and stay informed. They also provide a wonderful toolkit which can be accessed from here. The “Do Your PART” campaign - Preventing Avoidable Readmissions through Transitions uses a systematic, comprehensive approach to a multi-faceted problem. Because reducing readmissions requires better information transfer between health care providers and patients, as well as increased patient activation and improved workflow processes, there are opportunities for patients, caregivers and families to all “do their part.” Creating seamless transitions involves many players in numerous settings. Aging & Disability Resource Centers Evidence-Based Care Transitions - The ADRC Evidence Based Care Transitions program supports state efforts to significantly strengthen the role of ADRCs in implementing evidence-based care transition models that meaningfully engage older adults and individuals with disabilities (and their informal caregivers). This grant opportunity is designed to promote the further development and enhancement of ADRC participation in evidence-based care transition models. CMS QIO Care Transitiion Initiative - QIOs in every state and territory, united in a national network administered by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, have the ability to focus health care quality improvement resources and expertise at the community level. This was especially critical to the success of the Care Transitions initiative. South Dakota Care Transitions Fact Sheet - A useful summary of the most recent readmission findings from South Dakota.
