As part of our documentation quality improvement initiative, we promote practical ways for clinicians to provide clear and actionable communication at transitions of care.
Ideally, patients have access to health care supports in their home community or facility. This is usually reflected through an attachment to a primary care provider (PCP; e.g., family physician, nurse practitioner) or primary care service (e.g., primary care network).
Connect Care displays PCP attachment information in multiple locations and workflows. Where PCP information is displayed within transition/discharge planning reports (sidebar, admission/discharge navigators, Rapid Rounds, etc.), new functions are available when an existing PCP link is selected:
- Existing attachments can be confirmed and potential attachments requested with linked communications workflows.
- Tips for finding a primary care provider can be printed and/or sent for patient use.
