Linking Medical Care for Patients: Interdisciplinary Care Transitions and Collaboration discusses practical techniques for establishing connected, seamless, and transparent healthcare for patients in environments beyond the hospital. It provides remedies to healthcare fragmentation caused by ineffective care, patient safety issues, patient dissatisfaction, and rising expenditures. The material concentrates on clinical case management, multidisciplinary referrals and meetings, cross-functional team gatherings, monitoring patients in value-based procurement programs, hospital liaison visits, structured cooperation with physician groups, and referral sources, and fostering clinical network communities. Furthermore, it delves into tools for supporting patient self-care, efficient incorporation of technology, involvement of family caregivers, and strategies for tackling health inequalities and other high-risk care discrepancies. A distinctive reference, this material combines theoretical knowledge with practical instruments and techniques for linking medical care for patients by illustrating research and evidence-based strategies while transforming them into operational tools. Also provided are chapter targets, assessment queries, explanations of essential concepts, case scenarios, self-evaluations, scripts, trigger queries, and comprehensive briefings of each tool and technique.
