Patients with chronic conditions often need care from numerous healthcare professionals across multiple settings of care. These patients often transition between hospitals, nursing homes, home health agencies, primary provider offices, and home to obtain the care and services they need. Studies show that such transitions jeopardize patient safety and quality of care, stemming from incomplete or inaccurate transitions and uncoordinated care. The challenge is to improve transitions and care coordination to reduce preventable readmissions and other inefficiencies that contribute to escalating costs. The two-part webinar series will address Coordination and Transitions of Care, an ISRN Research Priority and emerging topic of research, which affects every patient that is hospitalized in our nation\u2019s healthcare system.<\/p>\n

\"\"Carole White, PhD, RN<\/strong>, completed her PhD in Epidemiology and Biostatistics from McGill University. She was appointed Associate Professor in the School of Nursing at University of Texas Health Science Center San Antonio in 2010. Her research focus is focused on optimizing outcomes for stroke survivors and their family caregivers, including management of post-stroke depression, secondary stroke prevention, and quality of life. She is currently funded to examine the incidence of readmissions after stroke along with its determinants, particularly as related to health care delivery processes and support for self-management following discharge. Dr. White is also undertaking research to develop and evaluate the use of health technologies to support self-management and monitoring after stroke. Dr. White teaches in the Doctor of Nursing Practice Program in the School of Nursing.<\/p>\n
