T2  - Transitions of Care in Pharmacy Casebook
AB  - The  Centers  for  Medicare  &  Medicaid  Services  (CMS)  define  a  transition  of  care  as  the  movement  of  a  patient  from  one  setting  of  care  to  another.  Healthcare  transitions  can  include  a  change  in  service  or  level  of  care,  a  change  in  setting,  or  a  change  in  provider.1  Ineffective  transitions  of  care  have  consequences,  including  medication  error  and  adverse  events,  excessive  emergency  department  (ED)  visits  and  avoidable  readmissions,  high  costs  to  the  healthcare  system,  and  patient  dissatisfaction.2  Among  Medicare  patients,  almost  20%  who  are  discharged  from  a  hospital  are  readmitted  within  30  days.  Unplanned  readmissions,  at  a  cost  of  $17.4  billion,  accounted  for  17%  of  total  hospital  payments  from  Medicare  in  2004.1
