Transitions From Acute Care to Long-Term Care: Evaluation of the Continued Access Model.

Improving communication during transitions from acute care hospitals into long-term post-acute care (LTPAC) settings is imperative for clinical staff to have the information they need to admit and care for the patient with accurate medical information provided in an efficient way. The research goals of this study are to examine the user experience of a new data sharing method, "Continued Access," a supplement to the standard summary of care, and to evaluate staff attitudes of the model on LTPAC residents' care. Clinical staff ( n = 20) from a U.S. Midwestern LTPAC setting were interviewed to give their evaluation of the new model of data access, their concerns, and ways to improve the effectiveness of the model. Respondents reported better opportunities for quality care based on improved insight and clarity around patients' medical history, medications, and tests. Strategies for integrating Continued Access into the workflow and improving quality outcomes are discussed.
