Improving Transitions of Care with Health Information Technology
NTOCC believes that for Health Information Technology (HIT) to make a difference in transitions of care, the technology must address several critical steps. The components include standardized processes, good communication, required performance measures, established accountability, and strong care coordination. Without addressing each step, the promise of HIT’s affect on overall transition of care improvement will not be realized.
Because there is little guidance on how to use HIT in ways that specifically improve transitions of care, this paper builds upon NTOCC’s overall recommendations for improving transitions of care and the national agenda as it relates to HIT, and identifies problems and considerations as they relate to NTOCC’s overall goals.
