Abstract

Patients' satisfaction with care transitions is low, especially when it comes to understanding their care when discharged home from the hospital. Therefore, a quality improvement effort was initiated with the aim of improving patients' satisfaction with care transitions. Specific goals of the project were to improve communication between healthcare providers and patients, increase patient satisfaction, and enhance patient education by standardizing multidisciplinary discharge planning rounds.
