Care Transitions

Patients move between health care providers and settings as their condition and care needs change. For example, a patient might receive care from a physician in an outpatient setting, then transition to a hospital during an inpatient admission before moving on to yet another care team at a skilled nursing facility. Each of these shifts from care providers and settings is defined as a care transition.
