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

While at St. Mary\u2019s she led their national Medicare demonstration of community case management under capitated financing \u2013 which she notes foreshadowed many of the care coordination models we see today. Dr. Lamb was a founding member of the Case Management Certification Commission and the first scientist to receive the Case Manager of the Year award from the Case Management Society of America. She and her team of nurse scientists and system engineers were members of the first cohort in the Interdisciplinary Nursing Quality Research Initiative (INQRI) funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation to study nursing care coordination activities in the hospital.
