Description
Coffman and colleagues report a 2026 quality improvement project that used hospital stays to check care transition needs. Most transition work happens in clinics. The team worked at a large urban pediatric hospital.
Care coordinators complete an electronic assessment for admitted patients. It includes an optional item on health care transition. Completion was low at baseline. The project aimed to raise completion by 50 percent in six months. It covered patients aged 16 and older. A standard workflow set the age threshold. Staff also received interactive training. Documented completion rose from 44.0 percent to 74.4 percent. Surveyed staff reported higher confidence after training.
