Description

Initial discussion response should be 300 words. This is not the only criteria utilized for evaluation; substantive content is imperative. All questions in the topic must be addressed. Please proofread your response carefully for grammar and spelling. Do not upload any attachments. All responses need to be supported by a minimum of one scholarly resource.

The American Geriatrics Society (2003) defines transitional care as “a set of actions designed to ensure the coordination and continuity of health care as patients transfer between different locations or different levels of care within the same location” (Cited in Boltz, et. al., 2012). It also encompasses both the sending and the receiving aspects of the transfer and is based on a comprehensive plan of care and includes logistical arrangements, education of the patient and family, and coordination among the health professionals involved in the transition” (Coleman & Boult, 2003 cited in Boltz, et. al., 2012). Finally, it involves a broad range of services and environments designed to promote the safe and timely passage of patients between levels of health care and across care settings” (Naylor & Keating, 2008 cited in Boltz, et. al., 2012). Therefore, transitional care is an essential component of managing very ill geriatric clients. You will be expected to provide this care.

Select five research articles that address transitional care of the geriatric client and briefly describe at least three strategies you will use in your practice to minimize the negative effects associated with transitional care.

Transitional Care Models from an FNP Perspective
The transitional care model is designed to avert health complexities and
rehospitalizations chronically ailing geriatrics by giving them composite discharge planning and
follow-up. Transitional care involves a breadth of services and surroundings intended to boost
the safe and timely passage of clients between the “levels of health care and across care
settings.” However, there are various concerns associated with transition of care, including
adverse clinical events, poor outcomes, and medic...
