Hello All,
Your thoughts on the need for Guidelines for Transitions of Care from the LTC setting to home, hospital, etc. Did not know that a new Transitions of Care Guideline was just published by the AMDA. Jim Lett was the lead physician on the guideline. one of the big issues has to do with medication reconciliation, especially such drugs as the low molecular weight agents. On the other hand, some drugs tend to be left off the Hospital Discharge form due to oversight or just the fact that they were not continued during the hospitalization, examples-cholinesterace inhibitors. Can you think of others?
