Transitional Care Management Services

 In a hospital, there are several patients in different stages of care. Some may require only monitoring; others may require periodic visits, and the most serious of them need to be in the intensive care unit (ICU). While the patients may be introduced to a particular level of care at the time of admission, they often transfer between the levels as their health improves or deteriorates. In such cases, they must be transferred from the earlier stage to the newer one. The care provided to the patients in between and during this transfer is called transitional care management service. 

What Is a Transitional Care Management Service?

Transitional care links the treatment of the patient across several stages or may even extend to several visits for the same condition or even reach the same patient but with different conditions. Transitional care management services become an essential system in managing the records of patients once they are transferred from the hospital back to their community setting. Transitional care management services can only be furnished by a subset of health professionals; physicians, clinical nurse specialists, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, or a certified nurse midwife.
