2023 Together - P416 - Digital by Default for Transitional Care Outreach - On Demand

We created a risk-stratified, reliable system of care to support patient transitions and create better cohesion between inpatient and post-discharge provider care, reduce barriers to transitional care management (TCM) billing, study and leverage digital engagement technology at discharge, and layer efficiency into TCM without compromising value. Leveraging automation augmented our approach to transitional support across primary care. We used risk stratification to enhance the scalability of care management resources for transitions and increased the volume of TCM billing in primary care by 25 times.
