Data Points

2.  Systematically sends clinical information to the facilities with patients as soon as possible.
3. Reviews information from facilities (discharge summary or ongoing updates) to determine patients who require proactive contact outside of patient-initiated visits or who are at risk for adverse outcomes
5.  Provides or coordinates follow-up care to patients/families that have been discharged.

History and Physical information is electronically sent to hospital at the time the patient is admitted.  The same is true for nursing homes.  At the time of discharge from the hospital, the discharge summary is sent to the nursing home, clinic, home health, hospice or other appropriate care giver.

All appointments are made before the patient leaves the facility and the patient is given a written copy of the referral and/or appointment time, date and place.  When the patient is discharged from the hospital or ER, all patients’ are called the following day.  (see response to data point 4)

When the patient leaves the hospital, nursing home or emergency room, the following documents are given to the patient and are explained to the family or care giver:

  1.  Discharge Summary
  2. Post Hospital Follow-up instructions
