Enhancing Transitional Care Management with Strategies to Support Patients
Transitional Care Management (TCM) plays a vital role in supporting patients during critical health transitions, such as hospital discharge. Recent research highlights the benefits of TCM programs, like Medicare’s TCM payments, which have improved post-discharge follow-up but reveal persistent access disparities. Effective TCM strategies, including coordinated follow-up, patient education, and addressing social determinants of health, are essential to prevent readmissions and enhance patient outcomes. Organizations implementing robust TCM protocols report improved patient satisfaction, and reduced healthcare costs. Read more>
