Chapter 3: Laying the groundwork for a transitional care nurse program

Abstract

This item record pertains to an excerpt from INSPIREd Healthcare: A Value-Based Care Coordination Model, which is provided free of charge by the publisher.

About this book: In today’s environment where healthcare costs are outpacing the economy, healthcare systems are shifting from fee-for-service to value-based payment to deliver high-quality care while reducing costs. This shift presents nurses with the opportunity to take the lead in transforming care delivery and achieve the Triple Aim goals: improving patient experience of care, improving health of populations, and reducing per capita healthcare costs.

INSPIREd Healthcare follows author Billie Lynn Allard and her team of nurses as they successfully implement an accountable community of health in pursuit of the Triple Aim. The INSPIRE Model they follow provides an evidence-based blueprint for other healthcare systems hoping to solve the complicated problems surrounding care transitions and health promotion.

Through case studies, anecdotes, and step-by-step summaries, INSPIREd Healthcare examines:

  • The seven-step INSPIRE Population Health Strategy Model
  • The role of nurses and other clinical disciplines functioning at height of licensure to improve patient outcomes
  • Practical solutions and lessons learned in engaging partners across care continuum
  • Creation of community networks and care teams to achieve results
  • Application of the model to pediatrics, mental health and addiction, pulmonary rehabilitation, diabetes management, and other services
