Background and Significance
ƒ Health care delivery is shifting from
inpatient to outpatient and
community settings.
ƒ Need for care coordination and
management of transitions between
types of care, providers and settings
is often overlooked, episodic, follows
specialty rather than primary care.
ƒ Describe development of the care coordination and transition
management (RN-CCTM) model.
ƒ Discuss dimensions and outcomes of the RN-CCTM model.
ƒ Describe the use of QSEN to standardize role expectations,
education, and evaluation of the RN-CCTM model.
ƒ Discuss use of RN-CCTM dimensions, competencies, and
evidence-based tools and methods to impact patient
outcomes.
Roles of RNs:
National Nursing Initiatives
ƒ American Academy of Ambulatory Care Nursing
(AAACN)
ƒ Expert Panels
ƒ Core Curriculum for Care Coordination and
Transition Management
ƒ In the context of the interprofessional care team
ƒ Care coordination and transitions
occur with no one accountable for
coordinating care or managing
transitions.
Method
Roles of RNs:
National Nursing Initiatives
ƒ Develop RN Evidence-Based Competencies for Care Coordination
and Transition Management
ƒ Expert Panel 1
ƒ Tap into expertise of ambulatory and acute care nurse leaders
ƒ Expert Panel 2
ƒ A cost effective, expeditious approach to bring leaders together
ƒ Expert Panel 3
ƒ Opportunities to dialogue and build on each individual leader’s
knowledge, skills and experience
ƒ Expert Panel 4
ƒ Use data summary techniques to capture and share outcomes
achieved by each Expert Panel
First Expert Panel
ƒ Provided with results of a search in MEDLINE,
CINAHL Plus, and PsycINFO that yielded 82 journal
articles plus white papers available on line from
major organizations
ƒ 26-member panel worked in dyads and abstracted
data to a table of evidence (TOE)

Each dyad reviewed four to five articles and needed to
reach consensus on items for TOE

ƒ The Quality and Safety in Education in Nursing (QSEN)
format was used for each care coordination and
transition management dimension identified
(Cronenwett et al., 2OO7)
ƒ Panelists were also asked to identify the knowledge,
skills, and attitudes identified in the literature, and if
absent to use expert opinion to specify each
This panel also identified competencies needed for each dimension including
knowledge, skills, and attitudes.

The prominence it is assuming in outpatient care even though there was
little discussion of it in the literature reviewed
Care Coordination
Definition “Care coordination is the deliberate organization of
patient care activities between two or more participants (including
the patient) involved in a patient’s care to facilitate the appropriate
delivery of health care services. Organizing care involves the
marshaling of personnel and other resources needed to carry out all
required patient care activities and is often managed by the
exchange of information among participants responsible for
different aspects of care.”
(McDonald et al., 2007 in AHRQ Care Coordination Measures Atlas, 2010, p. 4)
Naylor s Definition of
Naylor’s
Transitional Care
Transition Management
“Transitional care comprises a range of time-limited
services that complement primary care and are designed
to ensure health care continuity and avoid preventable
poor outcomes among at-risk populations as they move
from one level of care to another, among multiple providers and across settings.”
ƒ Definition:
‰
(Naylor, 2000)
“the ongoing support of patients and their families over time
as they navigate care and relationships among more than
one provider and/or more than one health care setting
and/or more than one health care service. The need for
transition management is not determined by age, time,
place, or health care condition, but rather by patients' and/or
families' need for support for ongoing, longitudinal
individualized plans of care and follow-up plans of care within
the context of health care delivery.“ (Haas, Swan, & Haynes, 2014,
p. 3)
Challenges with Care Coordination and
a
Transition Management in the 90s
Nurses in ambulatory care were performing Care
Coordination and Transition Management role dimensions,
but until this study (Haas et al., 1995) there was no
evidence of their work or contribution
ƒ Nurses typically did not chart in ambulatory on paper or EHR
ƒ With advent of EHR, there are few documentation screens
for nurse documentation
ƒ There are no indicators to track impact that RNs make on
processes or outcomes of patients in ambulatory care

http://www.healthintegrated.com/Portals/0/ELS%20Presentations/Susan_Norris_Marc
h%202013.pdf
ƒ Individuals with multiple needs are often unable to navigate the
complex and fragmented health care.
ƒ Care providers recognize the need for better coordinated care that
leverages community resources and aligns social determinants
such as food, housing and safe environments, but payment
structures in the health care system do not allow such alignment
(Freeman, 2006).
Growing Demand for Care Coo
Coordination
and Transition Management
for High Risk Chronic Care Populations
ƒ Health care spending in the United States is disproportionate,
half of U.S. health care dollars are spent on five percent of the
population (Conwell & Cohen, 2002).
ƒ 78% of health care spending is for persons with chronic
conditions
http://www.healthintegrated.com/Portals/0/ELS%20Presentation
s/Susan_Norris_March%202013.pdf
ƒ Many struggle with multiple illnesses combined with social
complexities such as, mental health and substance abuse,
extreme medical frailty, and a host of social needs such as social
isolation and homelessness (Berwick, Nolan & Whittington, 2008).

ƒ Identify patients at high risk of rehospitalization and

Purpose: Assist in stratification of risk as well as assessment of needs
• Goes beyond patient physical and psychological problems
• Goes beyond history of readmission and ED use
• Provides evidence-based predictors of risk that include social
determinants

ƒ Improve communication between providers

What are soc
social determinants
of health?
http://www.who.int/social_determinants/sdh_definition/en
ƒ The social determinants of health are
the conditions in which people are born,
grow, live, work and age. These
circumstances are shaped by the
distribution of money, power and
resources at global, national and local levels.
ƒ The social determinants of health are mostly responsible for
health inequities - the unfair and avoidable differences in health
status seen within and between countries.
Social Determinants
http://www.healthypeople.gov/2020/topics-objectives/topic/social-determinants-health
ƒ In addition to the more material attributes of “place,” the
patterns of social engagement and sense of security and
well-being are also affected by where people live.
ƒ Resources that enhance quality of life can have a
significant influence on population health outcomes.
‰ Examples of these resources include:
•
•
•
•
•
safe and affordable housing,
access to education, public safety,
availability of healthy foods,
local emergency/health services,
environments free of life-threatening toxins.
